A pan-fried fish patty is usually made with flaked or minced boneless fish, egg, breadcrumbs or another binder, and seasonings. The mixture is shaped into patties and cooked in a frying pan; commercially prepared versions may include additional ingredients.
Mild, boneless fish such as cod, haddock, pollock, or salmon works well in a pan-fried fish patty. White fish gives a delicate flavor, while salmon makes the patty richer. Remove all bones before mixing the fish into the batter.
To stop a pan-fried fish patty from falling apart, keep the mixture from getting watery and use enough egg and breadcrumbs to bind it. Chill the shaped patties before cooking, then leave each side undisturbed until it has formed a firm crust before turning.
For a crispy pan-fried fish patty, preheat the pan and oil before adding the patties, and cook them in batches rather than crowding the pan. A light coating of breadcrumbs adds crunch; drain the cooked patties briefly on a paper towel.
Yes, you can make a pan-fried fish patty with canned fish. Drain it thoroughly and flake it before mixing, since excess liquid can make the patties soft and prone to breaking. Canned tuna or salmon are common choices.
A pan-fried fish patty goes well with a crisp salad, coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or potatoes. Lemon wedges and a tartar-style or yogurt-based sauce add freshness, while a bun turns the patty into a simple fish sandwich.
Yes, you can freeze a pan-fried fish patty either before or after cooking. Freeze uncooked patties separately on a tray before packing them together; thaw them in the refrigerator before cooking so the centers cook evenly.
A cooked pan-fried fish patty keeps for 3–4 days in the refrigerator when promptly stored in a covered container. Refrigerate it within two hours of cooking, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for longer.
Yes, reheat a pan-fried fish patty in a skillet over medium-low heat, turning it until hot throughout. An oven also works; a microwave is quicker but may soften the crust. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
A pan-fried fish patty can be part of a balanced meal: fish supplies protein and omega-3 fats, while pan-frying adds fat. Pair it with vegetables or salad, and use a modest amount of oil if you want a lighter meal.

A pan-fried fish patty is made by flaking or mincing boneless fish, mixing it with seasonings and a binder, then shaping and cooking it in a pan. Recipes vary with the fish used and may include ingredients such as onion and herbs. It is a familiar home-style way to serve fish in many places, rather than one dish with a single fixed recipe.
The browned outside gives way to a tender centre. Serve it hot with lemon, salad or vegetables; it also works in a sandwich or as part of a casual meal. It provides protein and omega-3, while pan-frying adds fat. For a lighter plate, use less oil and pair the patty with plenty of fresh vegetables.
