hauxwell Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Does anyone know who invented the Sheffield Fish Cake? I was born in Newcastle upon Tyne. I remember when I first came here to live my aunt sent me to the fish shop for two fishcakes. I expected them to look like rissoles, which is what you would get in Newcastle if you asked for fish cakes. However I must say I fell in love with the Sheffield Fish Cake. Now that I have retired I am going back to Newcastle to live. I came here when I was 10 years old. My family say I am more yorkie than I am Geordie. They feel I am making a mistake going back to my roots. I will miss the Sheffield Fish Cake and also Sheffield People. Sheffield has a lot to be proud of.

darra Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 my grandma worked in a chip shop before and during the war. She once told me that in the war they used to make a cake which was two slices of potato with meat spam (?) in the middle then battered. Maybe that was the prototype who knows?

You'll have to get a chippy in Newcastle making Sheffield fish cakes, a stottie cake with pease pudding and a Sheffield fish cake will make a canny combo like.

sedith Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nobody invented the Sheffield Fishcake, it comes in under a variety of names across the UK from Cornwall to Scotland. Sheffield did not invent it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I did once find a chip shop in Lincoln that sold proper fishcakes, but they called them fritters. If you asked for a fishcake they gave you a rissole. Funny lot in Lincoln.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
