Silver perch is a highly nutritious fish, packed with essential vitamins and minerals. It’s an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to promote heart health and support eye health.
1 Ingredients for Silver Perch Fish Cakes
- 200g silver perch

2 How to Make Silver Perch Fish Cakes
Step 1 Prepare the Fish
After purchasing the silver perch, clean it and use a knife to fillet the fish from the body down to the tail to ensure that no bones are left in the meat.
Next, use a spoon to scrape the meat from the tail upwards, making it easier to remove the flesh.
You can use the bones and skin to make a delicious stock, which will add a depth of flavor to your dish.
If you’re short on time, you can also buy pre-minced fish from the market or supermarket.
Alternatively, you can chill the fish in the refrigerator; once the flesh is firm, remove it from the bones.
Fish Preparation
Step 2 Mix and Shape the Fish Cakes
Coat a bowl with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking, then add the minced fish, 1 tablespoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of pepper, spring onions, and shallots. Mix all the ingredients well.
Use a spoon to mix and shape the fish cakes by pressing the mixture against the bowl in a circular motion. For 200g of fish, this process should take around 5 to 10 minutes.
You’ll know the mixture is ready when it starts to stick to the spoon. This is the key step in ensuring your silver perch fish cakes are tender and chewy.
Proper mixing is crucial; if not done thoroughly, the fish cakes may fall apart during cooking and result in a crumbly, less desirable texture.

Step 3 Fry the Fish Cakes
If you’re not using the fish cakes immediately, you can store them in the refrigerator.
Silver perch fish cakes are versatile and can be used in hot pots, soups, or fried as patties.
I particularly enjoy fried silver perch fish cakes, so I shape them into patties, flatten them slightly, and fry them over medium heat. The fish cakes won’t stick to the pan due to their sticky texture.
