These were pretty good but the recipe needed some tweaking. I added 3 big garlic cloves to the fish and potato boil. Then I mashed them up with the mixture and added a few tablespoons of Old Bay. I read other reviews and noticed that many people had trouble keeping the patties together. 2 ways around that: 1. add some breadcrumbs to the mix. 2. Put the cakes in the fridge for 20 min. before frying. Anyways, I breaded these in seasoned breadcrumbs before frying and they came out just like crispy delicious crab cakes. Will def. use again!! (If anyone cares, I used some leftover shark steaks. Came out great!)

    Don't know what I did wrong but these fell apart. Left out the water but no dice. Worth another try though...

    I made these tonight for dinner. They were really fast and simple as the title says. DH wasn't home and I wasn't sure when he would get home, so I did everything except fry the patties before hand. Then when he arrived, I went ahead and fried the patties. The next time I make these I will leave the water out as that made them to loose to form into patties. I had to spoon them into the skillet and then kind of pat and spread them out. They tasted great and the fish and potatoes did not over-power each other. Thank you for sharing this recipe Chuck!!!

    I made these for my family a couple of weeks ago and I must say, we thoroughly enjoyed them. I took the other reviewers advice and left out the water. Had no problem forming the cakes. Fried to a delicate crisp. They had a wonderful soft texture on the inside. I used cod fillets. Thanks Chuck for sharing your recipe :D
