Fish Burgers (Low-Fat)

I like to add in some Old Bay seasoning, but that is optional. This is a great way to use up leftover fish. You can add in some bread crumbs if you find that the fish mixture is too moist. Serve these on buns with tartar sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. You can reduce the recipe to half if desired, yield is only estimated depending on the size you shape the patties.
