Fish Cakes

Did you know?

  • Tuna and salmon are rich in vitamin D, which helps the body to absorb calcium, and so is vital for healthy bones and good teeth.
  • They are also a good source of vitamin B12, which is needed by the body to form healthy blood cells and nerves.
  • Tuna is the most popular tinned fish in the UK and keeps a high vitamin content when tinned, however, fresh tuna is a richer source of omega-3 fatty acids.
