method
1. Put the cod, bay leaf and milk into a small saucepan and poach gently for 12-15 minutes. Drain well, reserving liquid. Discard the bay leaf.
2. Melt the margarine in a saucepan. Stir in the carrot and 60 ml (4 tbsp) flour. Cook, stirring for 1 minute, before adding the reserved liquid. Bring to the boil, stirring briskly, then simmer for 2 minutes until thickened.
3. Skin and flake the fish. Stir into the sauce with the lemon rind and seasoning. Turn on to a plate and leave to cool.
4. With wet hands shape the mixture into eight patties, about 1 cm (1/2 inch) in depth. Season the remaining flour and coat the patties in it, then in the egg and breadcrumbs. Chill for at least 20 minutes before frying.
5. Heat sufficient oil in a large frying pan to come halfway up the sides of the patties. Fry the patties for 3 - 4 minutes on each side.
