I decided to try Clare with the Hair’s Crispy and Spicy Fish Cakes. Let’s put an emphasis on the spicy though, because omg, my stomach cramped up in a fiery mess upon eating these.
Not only that, the recipe destroyed my kitchen. We are talking epic disaster. I’m totally someone who cleans dishes as they go along, but for some reason, rampant destruction still ensued.
To be fair, the directions weren’t the clearest for someone like me who’s skill in the kitchen borders on basic. I need everything spelled out so clear there can be zero room for error. Otherwise, horror happens. HORROR.
Furthermore, I seem to not understand the power ginger has. It never fails. Ginger will always be my secret spice of death. It’s so easy to use too much, and I fully believe this recipe used too much! Or maybe I did. I’m not quite sure. All I know, is there is such a thing as too spicy!
It’s such a shame too, because I could tell that this would’ve been PHENOMENAL if I hadn’t overdone it with the hot ingredients. You could tell, this was meant to be great!
Unfortunately, after I made them, half of them didn’t get eaten because people kept describing them as giant fish balls. Fish cakes sound so much more appetizing than fish balls, yeah? Though the term “Fish Balls” does make me giggle like an eight year old boy.
All I can say is, have your glass of milk ready because this one? It’s going down in flames.
I’ve never ate a fishcake before! I love spicy foods so I wonder if this would be too much for me or not. 😛
I honestly don’t know! I have a sensitive stomach but even I enjoy spicy food a bit… but all I could taste was spice in this and I found it off putting
Ah I know what you mean! Sometimes too much spice just makes it not taste good anymore.
That is exactly what happened for me!
