My First Shop-Bought Fishcakes In A Dozen Years

I was in Marks and Spencer at Eastfield and looking for a piece of fish for my supper, when I saw some gluten-free fishcakes.

I probably haven’t had any since Waitrose in Newmarket stopped selling their locally-sourced ones in about 2000.

But I do like fishcakes and except for the odd meal in an expensive restaurant, I’ve hardly ever eaten any in the intervening years.

I actually bought one packet of the salmon and one of the cod, so tonight, I ate one of each and put the others in a sealing container for perhaps Sunday.

They didn’t disappoint, after I cooked them in the oven at 220°C for 16-18 minutes.

I think it’s true to say that these and other products in Marks and Spencer’s Made Without Wheat  range, taste so good, that even the most fussy of eaters couldn’t tell the difference between these and the standard products.

The only problem with their gluten-free products is finding the new ones in the store.

I found these excellent fishcakes totally by accident.

  1. They have had them in Altrincham for some weeks – but I don’t eat fish and so haven’t tried them. In general the M&S made without wheat products are excellent – their brown bloomer is now my usual bread – although I was at the allergy and free from show in Liverpool today, and I found some Kosher gf bread – very useful, since I go to events at a local Synagogue and take my own lunch.

  2. https://anonw.wordpress.com/2014/10/07/is-this-the-ideal-bread-for-a-lone-coeliac/

    I use this set of slices, as they are ideal for one and last a few days.

    I do wish that M & S would make gluten-free products stand out. They use the same green for new!
