I knew someone who, every time she referred to "salmon patties" in the same
breath also said "canned mackerel". Mackerel makes decent and inexpensive
fish patties if you're looking for that sort of thing. As you said, you
just have to season correctly. Minced onion, celery, parsley, lemon juice,
whatever little bit of filler - cracker crumbs, fresh bread crumbs,
cornflake crumbs - and an egg. Form into patties and pan fry. Serve with
yer mayo or horseradish sauce on the side.
