Paleo Kipper Cakes (AIP)

As someone who prepares each meal from scratch, having high quality protein sources already packed and portioned, is an enormous help.  Though canned herring may not be something on everyone's lunch table, these cakes certainly should be, as they are not only very tasty, but also very affordable.  Herring, much like other cold water, oily fish such as wild salmon, mackerel, trout, and sardines, are high in omega-3 fatty acids, giving one even more the reason to include them into their diet. 

If you do not have ground pork rinds, do not fear, as in just one week, I will be giving two lucky readers a chance to win some from my favorite brand.  In the meantime, you can always make your own by simply grinding up pork rinds, or use another grain-free flour that you have on hand.  As a note, I have also made these kipper cakes using canned anchovies, and I believe that sardines would also work great.  With a pop of flavor from the turmeric and a bit of saltiness from the pork rinds, these fish cakes are a great lunch for on the go or at home.
