Thai fish cakes with sweet chilli dip

This Thai fish cake recipe from Marcello Tully employs wonderfully fresh Southeast Asian flavours for a distinct kick. The sweet chilli dip is remarkably easy to make, and it's fabulous with the fish. Whiting is a brilliant white fish, but if you cannot find any for this recipe, you can use cod or haddock to make these fish cakes.

When Brazilian-born chef Marcello Tully started his career at fourteen, he may not have anticipated working on the starkly beautiful island of Skye – but then he probably didn’t expect to be crafting some of the most exquisitely refined Scottish-influenced food on the planet, either.
