Tuna Puddings

This is our second recipe to add some St Helena favour to your christmas party.  We have given the world’s greatest fishcake a festive twist to create a savour treat.  Inspired by christmas puddings, we have created a tuna pudding.

Using the classic fishcake recipe (can see our full video on how to make fishcakes here) this is a simple party delight.

To go with the tuna pudding, we have a coconut Rum cocktail called a Town Boy Twist.
