Description
This wonderful recipe for fish patties made from canned fish is a real lifesaver—and it's personally helped me out more than once. Of course, making patties the traditional way might be tastier, but it takes an incredible amount of effort, while my husband demands something delicious right this minute, so I have to improvise. Honestly, I can tell you that often no one even notices these patties are made from ordinary canned fish—they turn out incredibly tasty, especially when served piping hot. Overall, this simple recipe for fish patties from canned fish certainly isn't for everyday use, but in emergency situations, it's undoubtedly useful to have on hand, so be sure to keep it in mind.

Step 1
First, put the eggs on to boil. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients. Open the can of fish (your choice—I used mackerel) and pour out almost all the liquid into a glass; we might need it later to make the filling juicier. Transfer the fish to a bowl and mash it thoroughly with a fork.
