A few comments/suggestions -- I doubled the recipe, with exception of the corn, and used a pint of my mother's home-canned salmon. Upon doing this it was still too runny so I added about 1/2 cup of crushed Saltines to thicken the mixture -- this did the trick. Regarding the sauce, I didn't have any pimentos in the kitchen so I spiced it up with horseradish, a pinch of dill weed, and a few drops of Garlic Tabasco sauce. A good recipe -- but it does need crackers or bread crumbs to bind it together.
