Aye. Fish cakes (my style) although they taste very good, are a very
simple dish. Trying to make a grand dish out of them is simply silly <g>
But then, some people like to appear grand about everything. Fancy
restaurants make special fish cakes with expensive fish, but not the kind we
are talking about. Keep it simple sf, maybe some salad or steamed veg is
great Just don't overwhelm your fish cakes with highly flavoured stuff
that will take away the simplicity. They taste pretty good in their own
right That stuff is nice yes, but not with fish cakes
