Fish cakes: If liked, make a dipping sauce of sliced fresh chilli and soy. Fish cakes: We used orange roughy fish, but use any inexpensive boneless fillets available. Prawn bruschetta: If preferred, bake the bread slices in a moderate oven, 180°C, for 5-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Prawn bruschetta: Bases can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Top just before serving.
