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

I left out the water which make it easier to form the cakes. Great camping recipe.

So simple and so good!! Almost a one pan meal. I also, left out the water and added dill seasoning and the cakes turned out wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

Thank-you Chuck - This is such an easy tasty recipe, I used a Basa filet, seved with tarter sauce on the side. I dusted the patties with flour before frying them. They were crispy on the outside and lovely texture inside- I wish I had cut one to show you but couldn't wait that long — Sep 29, 2005

I liked this, Chuck. Quick and simple. But the second time I left out the water, much better consistency, well for me anyway. I also added a big pinch of dill tops because I like it with fish.

Excellent Recipe! It was easy, it was fast, and for a Lady that dosnt care for salt water fish, tasty! (I used Pollock) I did omit the water as I was using mashed spuds from last night, and I did add dill. I didnt need tartar sauce which says volumes! Thanks for posting Chuck! PS-Iron Bloomers said to freeze them on a cookie sheet and then package, so that's what I'm doing with the extras-made a double batch.

Does what it says on the tin - fast and simple! Very tasty too, and just the right texture. I used a mixture of sea bass and tuna, with an anchovy or two chopped in, and I left out the water like the others said.

These were VERY GOOD. I too omitted a lot of the water, but be careful when omitting water... you want to leave some in else they will get too dry when frying. I cut the recipe in half so I could take the other portion of fish and potatoes to create my own recipe for fish cakes at the same time. Will post them shortly They are a kicked up version of fish cakes Thanks for this recipe chuck! We THOROUGHLY enjoyed these and will have them again

this is a very good freeform prototype kind of recipe to play around with. i added my own touch in the form of some finely chopped celery, fresh parsley, and lemon zest. i used tilapia fillets and it worked very well. i can definitely see myself making this often.
