How to make fish cake coated in maize meal

Let’s make some fish cakes using king fish steaks. I really love preparing this recipe because it is very simple and quick to make. A fish cake is very similar to a croquette. It consists of boneless fish steaks or any other seafood, cooked and mashed together with boiled potatoes, most of the time coated in breadcrumbs or herbs, then fried. We will use maize meal (unga ya ugali) to coat it. I feel maize meal gives the fish cake a crispy texture on the outside and leaves it moist on the inside. You can use any type of fish just in case you don’t get king fish steaks. Serve it with some delicious easy to make garlic sauce with a side of soft lettuce.
