Love fishcakes but I'm never satisfied with the side dish.

Any ideas?

Wouldn't it be a help to say what sides you've had with them that you didn't like?

Leeks
Cabbage
Tomato and fennel salad
Pomme de terre a la Anglaise with mustard.
Spanish salt potatoes

Mushy peas!

Or a green salad with a nice oil, lemon juice and Dijon mustard dressing.

I'd have some poached duck eggs, parma ham and couscous with them.

I always think sweet corn goes very well with any battered or breadcrumbed fish product

What about a nice green salad with a zingy dressing?

Minted peas or mushy peas might be nice too.

Fish and potato patty with boiled spuds.
I'd have a few chips and a dollop of mash on the side

what fish is in the fish cakes?

Do you mean Thai style fish cakes or smoked haddock with lots of potato type fish cakes?

This thread is making me feel rather inadequate - I usually just have some frozen garden peas and a good dollop of tommy sauce

Stir-fried green veg, probably a combo of spinach, green beans and rocket.

Buttery new potatoes and runner beans - lovely.

Creamed leeks - although the plate might look rather insipid, so I'd probably serve some garden peas, too.

On which note, braised lettuce with peas would be lovely with some fishcakes.

Some samphire would be good on closer reflection.

I'm veggie now but whenever we had my nans homemade fishcakes as a kid we had just them, nothing on the side

They were gorgeous!

Whenever my mum made fish cakes (of the haddock and potato variety) we would have them with chips, peas and tomato ketchup. Mmmmmm!

Rocket salad with a nice balsamic dressing, a good dollop of tartare sauce (if they are cod/haddock fishcakes) or sweet chilli sauce (salmon/tuna)

Green beans and ketchup.
If I want to posh the beans up I do them the way they are sometimes served in France ..... cooked until soft, allowed to cool a bit, and then lots of finely chopped raw garlic and sea salt (the big crystals) to give them some crunch and bite.

The only thing wrong with all these set-ups... is the fishcakes!

Do you like them? I find them dry (however much you try to moisten them when binding).
Also an unpleasant 'bitsy' texture.

A good tip is to soak a crustless slice of white bread in milk for a few minutes, squeeze the milk out and add the bread to the fishcake mix. Works with meatballs as well.
