Haddock and Black Pudding Fishcakes (serves 4)

Haddock is one of my favourite fish, sweet in flavour.

It marries well with the rich spiciness of the black pudding and the freshness of the mint.

When the potatoes are cooked, strain and mash, crumble the black pudding and mix through the potato.

Strain the haddock and add to the mash with the chopped parsley, mix through gently.

Place in the fridge to chill before shaping.

Once chilled, divide the mix into eight and shape into cakes, dip in milk and coat with the breadcrumbs.

Pan fry until golden and heated through.

Serve on crushed minted garden peas and a wedge of lemon.
