Made for PAC 2010. First I would never boil my fish, just me. It needs to be seasoned. I grilled mine until lightly brown and tender. It didn't hold together, but it basically needed other binders. It was very bland even though I added some celery, onion and parsley and I still could of added a bit more flavor. I did mix and then chill before, but I just didn't like them. Sorry, they were just bland. There are ways to incorporate a light amount of seasoning and vegetables without taking away from the flavor of the fresh fish. I did serve them with a nice fresh remoulade sauce
