Fishy cakes

Cakes are easy to transport and easy to eat with fingers, thus being the ideal food for picnics. This cake is not sweet but brings the salty and sardiney (is there a word like that?) taste to the feast on the sand or wherever you've laid your blankets.

Of course, these an also be eaten in the house. Try crumbling into a glass and covering with some herby mayonnaise. Not bad at all.
