I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.
But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.
Was my whole childhood a lie?
Fishcakes? They’re mostly deep-fried disappointment since they’re not proper Sheffield fishcakes.
Last year, the company I work for had a ‘mental health’ day. I used it to drive a 280-mile round trip to Sheffield just to go to Two Steps chippy on Sharrow Vale Road for a fishcake butty for lunch. Fucking worth it. Absolutely.
