Ultimate Fish Cakes

These held together well (in contrast to our last attempt at fish cakes), but the portion sizes were quite small - it looked more like a large appetizer or a small lunch than a main dish. It also could use a bit more potato - fish cakes with that much fish are of course a treat, but if that's all you serve, it's a lot of fish and little else (you could, of course, also just serve it with potatoes on the side). All in all, though, I'm beginning to think that making fish cakes is a small art in itself, and that it doesn't consist of adding I don't know how many special ingredients, but of getting the consistency right, and being able to fry without them falling apart, or getting burnt, or both.

The sauce, by the way, wasn't really necessary, and even if, a simpler sauce would have done as well.
