Thai fishcakes! The proper, hot, squeaky, battery ones. Lovely.

It's always disappointing when somewhere (usually a gastropub or similar) serves 'Thai fishcakes' that turn out to be like normal fishcakes - potato and breadcrumb based. A pox on them!

Luckily, Waitrose in the UK have started doing a not bad version, made with hake. It lacks the squeak you get when it's been freshly fried, but it's not a terrible approximation.
