Fish cakes in northern Russian cooking are made from many kinds of fish, with rye bread binding the juices and flavour. The bread keeps the mixture soft and juicy, and the crumbs give a crisp crust. It is a cheap, simple dish that is still a favourite family supper.

Tips
Rest the mixture so the bread absorbs the moisture. Work the fish cold so the cakes do not stick. Do not crowd the pan or the cakes steam instead of browning.
