Thai keto fish cakes are nutritious Thai fish and shrimp cakes in keto version. This is one of my family's favorite keto fish recipes and definitely keto kids approved!
My children love these low carb fish cakes. Usually fish is not so popular among kids but my children love fish in this form.
Flavor of these low carb Thai fish and shrimp cakes is wonderful for kids palates and the form of the patties is winning too.
Children generally love when they can have their food in their hands, like a finger food. My children are 3 and 6 but this could be perfect recipe for babies who are starting with solid food, especially for baby led weaning.
Of course adults love these keto Thai fish cakes, too! Who doesn't love Thai street food! Especially keto Thai street food! And fish cakes are one of the stars of versatile Thai street food. All these smells and flavors combined in a savory cake, crispy and golden brown outside and flavorful and tender inside!
If you don't have kids you can make these patties spicy if you like. I love spicy food but my children are not huge fans so I put chili in half of the amount or I just make spicy dipping sauce and enjoy!
HOW TO MAKE THAI KETO FISH CAKES?
Prepare white fish fillets and shrimp
I love this combination of fish and shrimp/prawns. If you have only fish, it will be really good with fish only. However, combination of white fish with shrimp really makes this flavor and smell special. If you like shrimp flavor, of course!
It's fantastic if you have fresh fish fillets, but frozen are equally good, only you need to thaw/defrost fish completely, pat dry and then use.
Combining ingredients in food processor
Combine fish cut in small pieces, shrimp, salt, pepper, red paprika, fresh cilantro, Thai curry powder, dried basil, fish and oyster sauce and egg and mix in a food processor until nicely ground/minced.
Add in almond flour and chopped spring onion and make patties and cook.
Frying Thai keto fish patties
If you like deep frying you can do it. I do it very fast on a pan/skillet and I think pan frying is really convenient and patties taste great when prepared like this. I use lard or coconut oil, more often lard. You can use avocado oil too.
I am used used to fry on lard and that's fat for cooking and frying I use the most. That's something what is actually in my family's tradition here in Croatia. We fry and cook everything on lard and pour our food with a lot of extra virgin olive oil! 🙂
Serving Keto Thai fish cakes
I love serving these with mashed cauliflower or with fried cauliflower rice. It goes perfect with any leafy green salad and with dipping sauce.
I love to prepare just sour cream with salt, pepper and some crushed chili or with pinch of curry powder and dip fish cakes into that dipping sauce. It's so good!
