About Fiskekaker
Matprat's haddock fiskekaker belong to the Norwegian fish-cake dinner tradition. The cakes have a gently browned surface and a soft fish centre, with the author celebrating them freshly served and hot.
Milk and potato starch give the fish mixture its body. White pepper and nutmeg supply mild spice, while fresh herbs remain optional in this rendition.
A raw carrot salad with orange and raisins is a suggested accompaniment. Boiled potatoes and browned onion also appear among the traditional serving suggestions, contrasting with the tender fish cakes.
