I got them right! 

I am delighted after the last [epic fail](https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@fionasfavourites/-t3g67n15mk6qo2yjk80m3mj4cinhqqcs).

This is an easy, budget beating and tasty Sunday supper of fish cakes.   

Very simple: 1 tin of of pilchards in tomato sauce, three potatoes (I used leftover mash + 1), an onion, a cup of rolled oats, blitzed, and some fennel leaves. 

I took advice from @lizelle and separated the sauce from the pilchards and set it aside. 

In a bowl, I combined a quarter of the onion finely chopped with finely chopped fennel and about a third of the oats. Then I made 4 cakes. (With hindsight, I should have done 6). I rolled those in the remaining oats and popped them all in the fridge for a few hours.

Because I'm not good at chucking food away, I jollied up the sauce by slightly caramelizing the rest of the onion, also finely chopped, adding the sauce, more finely chopped fennel and some tomato sauce (ketchup) to add a little acid and counter the saltiness.

Next time, especially if I want to serve these cold with a salad, I will add an egg so that they bind a little better. 

Last night, I served them with roasted cauliflower.

 - If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
1.  re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a <a href="https://ko-fi.com/S6S0YYAT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....</a>?
2. and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.</li>
