When I was last in Bangkok there was a cart right outside of the dentist I was going to that was frying up these amazing fish cakes outside for about 20 baht. I just loved them so much when I got home I tried to figure out the recipe. I tried to get her to tell me what fish she used but she would not give it up so I made some choices that seem to work. Let’s check it out!
