Okay, so I don't mind fish but I am a fish snob. I don't mind fish fillets, but you try to feed me a fish "loaf" and I will turn into Dracula at a garlic farm. Don't ask me why I am weird in this way... because the reality is that cakes are "tiny loaves" but don't rain on my parade. :) This recipe is also one that is still "in progress." I did a test run on my father today and that batch lacked flavor. So, I have mentally adjusted and this is the recipe I came up with. I have to try this version still.
