Fishcakes were a type of handfood found in Faerûn.[3][2]

Too Much Haddock? Make Fish Cakes!
— A headline from Baldur's Mouth Gazetteer[4]

Description[]

Fishcakes were human-hand-shaped foods made of chopped, sauced, mixed, and breaded fish, shaped into rounds and lightly fried. Occasionally, other creatures ended up added to the fishcake mix, including turtle, crab, squid. Any rumors of rats and cats ending up as fried handfoods were always denied.[3]

Availability[]

Fishcakes of good quality were made in the Fish Tails seafood factory of Ravens Bluff in the Vast.[3] Waterdeep's docks had street vendors selling ever-popular fishcakes to hungry sailors.[2] In the Elfsong Tavern of Baldur's Gate, fishcakes could be found in the kittens alongside crab cakes, cheese and potato soup, and loaf puddings.[1]
