What did you cook or eat today? (October 2025)

What are you meaning by fishcake?

I've never eaten one (as an adult anyway) but I imagine that they are like crab cakes, salmon cakes, etc. only with Asian seasonings?

Edited to add that the catfish Barriehie might be good in fishcakes. IDK. Worth a shot if the fish isn't expensive.

Well that is what I thought but it seemed odd to have it with the catfish, hence my query.

Edit: I think it might be a different thing. Something like this: Eomukguk (Fish cake soup).

Yeah, but in a soup, IDK. But I was also wondering how it doesn't fall apart in a soup. Or maybe the fishcakes are on the side? Hmmm.

I smoked some ribs today.

Maybe Barriehie can give us some clarification, but I am not too sure because I did see some Korean and Thai fishcake recipes and they looked much, much different. Although the skewers would explain how they aren't falling apart in the soup.

I also seem to remember kaneohegirlinaz lamenting not being able to get fishcakes in Cowboyville, so maybe she knows something about the subject?

Tonight same as last night; Popeyes fried chicken, red beans and rice, and a biscuit.

Morning Glory I can only guess that Barriehie is talking about something like Kamaboko, but that's Japanese steamed Fishcake, that we use in many dishes, even straight up with maybe a dipping sauce of Wasabi & Shoyu

kaneohegirlinaz hit it on the head with the kamaboko. That piece with the pink outside. This link is the closest to fish cake as it was presented to me. It doesn't fall apart when it's cooked; it's kind of like Spam is to pork this is to fish. Sort of...

Edit: Here's an idea. I'll get some of that crummy frozen white fish at Walmart and I bet I can make some bang up fishcake. Cool, another kitchen project.

Umm, not quite!

Which part, that catfish would not be good in fishcakes?

Edit: nevermind. I just saw your other posts.

The same person who created the recipe for the crispy fish cakes also has a recipe for boiled (for soup), which I am sure can be steamed instead.

When it gets a bit cooler and I'm closer to soup mode I'll make some!

I've never microwaved falafel...

Nor have I. Nor would I. Just wrap them in foil and stick them in the oven for 5 minutes, so they warm up. Microwaving gives things a chewy texture, in my opinion.
