Greetings - my German Great-Grandmother used to make Kuchen - that's all we called it - generic name - but that was it.  My sister still makes it for every family event.  
 
It is like a tea cake with a sweet topping. One of the main ingredients is mashed potato.  
 
So although your recipe has fish in it - it could still be made up and cooked like a cake.  A savoury cake for "high tea" is not beyond the bounds of probability.

Any suggestions as to how to interpret this for her? Is there some
other meaning for "kuchen"?
