  • Form the fish mix into four balls
  • Sift the flour into a shallow bowl
  • Roll the fish balls in the flour then flatten carefully to make patties
  • Beat the egg lightly in a shallow bowl
  • Put the floured fish patties in the egg mix and either turn carefully or use a pastry brush to cover the whole patty
  • Put the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl and add the fish patties one by one, turning them to coat them well
