Remoulade Sauce
Whisk together the mayo, ketchup, relish, mustard, lemon juice and hot sauce in a medium bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.


I substituted seasoned bread crumbs for crackers. Added a second egg. I used a whole medium onion. I used sriracha sauce. My meat I chose was bluegill. Used oil to fry in instead of butter.
I used an ice cream scoop with the release trigger so they'd be uniform. Made 10 cakes.
Absolutely delicious!!!
Crunchy on the outside yet moist on the inside.

Man that sounds good. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

These are similar to mine. I cook my fish the day before and chill in the fridge. Keeps the flesh from crumbling so much.
