"Chilli Fish Cake" refers to a type of fish cake that incorporates chili or spicy elements, either within the cake itself or as part of the accompanying sauce. These fish cakes are typically made from minced or ground fish, combined with ingredients like breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, and seasonings. The addition of chili gives the fish cake a spicy kick, making it a flavorful and slightly zesty dish.
There are various regional interpretations of "Chilli Fish Cake," often seen in Asian or fusion cuisines. For example:
Thai-style Chilli Fish Cake: These are often made with fish paste (like mackerel or tilapia), mixed with red curry paste, chili, and herbs such as kaffir lime leaves and basil. They are usually deep-fried and served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce.
Indonesian-style Fish Cake: Known as otak-otak in some regions, these can be made with fish fillet or paste and spiced with chili and turmeric, wrapped in banana leaves and grilled or steamed.
Western-style Chilli Fish Cake: In more Westernized versions, chili flakes or chopped fresh chilies are mixed into the fish cake batter, giving it a subtle heat, often served with a tangy chili mayonnaise or a spicy tomato sauce.
Chilli fish cakes are a great option for those who enjoy seafood with a bit of heat and flavor, offering a good balance of spice and savory goodness. They can be served as a snack, appetizer, or main dish, often paired with a dipping sauce to complement the spiciness.
