I've been preparing these seafod cakes for a years. They are wonderful and full of flavor. I have made them as posted, but feel free to substitute crab or any white fish you like. It always works out to our delight. Read more The sauce rocks! Do not be put off by the prep time - this needs to be chilled properly to develop the perfect flavor before finishing the process. Enjoy. See less
