Fish Cakes El Cajon

Submitted by Clifford Boren

"This is essentially a muscled up Bubble and Squeek with some flaked fish mixed in. It's a very good simple meal served with "Oh No! Not Broccoli" and a small green salad. You can use tartar sauce on the cakes, or some fat free gravy. If there are left overs, they make a good breakfast."
