To make the salad, put the peas in a colander and pour over a kettle of just-boiled water. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard and olive oil, and toss with the peas and some seasoning. Toss in the watercress just before serving.
Dust the fishcakes in flour, then dip them in the beaten eggs and roll them in the breadcrumbs until covered. Repeat with the eggs and breadcrumbs again.
Heat a shallow pool of oil in a pan, then fry the fishcakes for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden all over and piping hot in the middle. Serve with the salad.
