These were VERY good. I couldn't believe my eyes watching my kids eat so much of them. I left the peals on the potatoes and it worked out great. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

Made these primarily for my toddler and he enjoyed it. Shaped them like sticks instead of cakes. Enjoyed by all.

Hi CC, we really enjoyed these fish cakes, I made this using white fish and did some minor amount adjustments, I use my The Best Creole/Cajun Seasoning Mix and added in some fresh chopped parsley, thank you for sharing this great recipe hon!...Kitten:)
