Herring fish cakes

The weather down here has been truly horrid, making it difficult for us to get out and have a fish.So what few breaks in the weather that have occured we have grabbed our rods and managed to pull in just enough Herring to make another batch of fish cakes.They are so handy to have in the fridge for a quick snack with a bit of horseradish mayo, or in a salad wrap. So here is the recipe.
Herring Fish Cakes and Horseradish mayo

6 Herring whole
6 potatoes cooked and mashed
1 tab thai green curry paste
1/2 Tab fish sauce

Prepare herring by gutting, scaling and taking head off, put on plate 3 at a time and microwave for 4 mins , repeat with other 3 fish. When cool remove skin and pick off flesh from 1 side then bone should pull out and then finish remainder of fish. Put fish with remainder of ingredients and mix. I use a scone cutter and put mixture into it and then remove for a nice shape. Refrigerate at least 1/2 hour. Fry in vege oil until brown only turning once if possible. Finishing them off in oven if you like. Mix egg mayo with horeradish cream to taste.
