== Europe ==

=== Denmark ===

In [[Denmark]], ''fiskefrikadeller'' (fishcakes) are slightly elongated, pan-fried patties much like regular [[frikadeller]]. They are normally not breaded. A similar dish which is boiled, rather than fried, is called ''fiskeboller'' and added to certain soups, though it may be closer to a fish version of a [[knödel]]. In [[Southern Jutland]], ''fiskefrikadeller'' sometimes contain smoked [[Lard|pork fat]].

=== Norway ===

In [[Norway]], "fiskekaker" are made much like the Danish ''fiskefrikadeller''. They are fried and served with potatoes or pasta, broccoli and raw grated carrot, and often brown sauce instead of white.

The type of fish used vary with availability and recipe: Pollock, haddock, herring, wolf-fish and even salmon or trout are sold, and they are often marketed named after the fish they are made of; Seikaker, Koljekaker, Steinbitkaker, etc. Terms like "burger" is also used; "Lakseburger", "Fiskeburger".

Additionally there are [[Fish ball#Scandinavia|fishball]]s and fishpudding, both more often served with white sauce.

=== Poland ===

In [[Poland]], fishcakes are commonly served in the form of ''kotlety rybne'' ("fish cutlets") and are typically made with the ground meat of [[Whitefish (fisheries term)|white fish]], combined with a stale milk-soaked wheat bread roll (such as the [[Kaiser roll]]) or breadcrumbs, raw egg, finely chopped onions, seasonings and optionally herbs, all of which are mixed into a uniform mass, then shaped into small but thick patties, breaded and pan-fried. Thus prepared, ''kotlety rybne'' are a fish version of the pork-based ''kotlety mielone'' ("ground cutlets"), which themselves are similar or identical to the German ''[[Frikadelle]]n''.

=== Portugal ===

In [[Portugal]], ''[[pastéis de bacalhau]]'' (codfish pasties) are a type of very popular fishcake. Pastéis are made of [[potato]], [[Cod as food|codfish]] (''bacalhau''), [[parsley]], and [[egg (food)|eggs]].

=== Sweden ===

In [[Sweden]], canned {{lang|sv|fiskbullar}} are widely found; in contrast to {{lang|sv|fiskefrikadeller}}, they are not fried but boiled and as a result are almost entirely white.

=== United Kingdom ===

Fishcakes are a popular item in Britain. They are often served in gourmet establishments as well as traditional [[Fish and chip shop|chip shops]], making them a ubiquitous dish.  A fishcake is typically ordered in place of a piece of battered fish, and may be served in a roll as a fishcake 'butty'.

In [[England]], particularly in [[Lancashire]] and parts of [[Yorkshire]], a "chippy fishcake" is a variation traditionally served in many [[fish and chip shop]]s.  It consists of two slices of potato (sometimes parboiled), with offcuts of fish in between, deep-fried in batter. Chippy fishcakes can also be known as scallop fishcakes, or fish patties in Yorkshire. Another variation of the fishcake is the parsley cake which is sold in some fish and chip shops in and around [[Castleford]], West Yorkshire, England. It consists of minced fish, mashed potato and fresh parsley, coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried.
