Here in South Africa we can buy sardines or pilchards in cans which makes it most convenient to keep as a stock item in your cupboard and it is also very cheap, thus making it ideal for low budget meals. It sells under the brand Lucky Star and you can read more about all the nutritional benefits here.
My husband will eat sardines out of the tin on toast, but I like to make fish cakes with it. A tin of fish goes a long way and with mash and a salad, you not only fill tummies, but you give your family food that is good for them too. To keep the fish cakes healthy, I also wanted to up the fiber and lower the GI levels. Oats is the best way to do this so here is what you need.
1 425gr tin of pilchards in tomato
125ml oats
2 eggs
1 onion finely chopped
a big handful of chopped coriander
1 tin Mexican salsa
sour cream
Mix the pilchards, oats, onion, coriander and eggs together and form small patties. Fry in shallow oil and drain when ready. Serve with the Mexican salsa and some sour cream.

These would be very good for you without compromising any taste buds...how delicious are they:D
I also love them on toast. Never thought of making fish cakes with them though, thanks for the tip.
So colorful! These fish cakes look delicious!
It really sounds nice. The pics are beautiful!!! PPD
What beautiful fish cakes. We made fish cakes the other night but they were nothing compared to the beauties you've created here.

That presentation is so pretty. And I love the Mexican twist :D
The fish cakes look gorgeous although I am not a huge fan of sardines (yet) I think my taste buds are changing so maybe I will like them in the very near future!
Oh I really enjoy sardines. My DH eats them from the can also. Fish cakes are a great idea and I love the Mexican twist!
I get sardines and anchovies confused. Not literally of course, but just in the fact that they're little canned fish.
Looks healthy and yummy. What a delicious meal.
This is such an excellent idea Nina! I have been wanting to like sardines for years, but I have never found a good way that I really relish them, but these fish cakes could certainly change my mind!!!
I think I could eat the sardines prepared in these fishcakes,maybe not like your hubby,right out of a can...I understand they are delicious. you certainly made them look very appetizing! you do have a flare with food and the presentation is incredible!
My mouth is watering. Can't remember when last I had these. I like the healthy twist. Will try this out soon. Tell Hubby to try Saldanha Sardines (I get mine at P'nP) and have that with Miracle Whip Light, Dijon Mustard and black pepper on seedloaf toast... My super boost breakfast.
That's my kind of fish cake - I love Mexican food.
I am totally afraid of canned fish.. something about the smell. But look at what an amazing thing you can make! I just need someone to deal with the fish for me...

Now that takes me back. My mom always used to make pikchard fishcakes just like this over a weekend - and then mix some chopped dill pickles and dried dill with Hellmanns and a little milk to serve. YUM!
