Wow! These “fish cakes” are absolutely delicious! My husband came back for seconds saying, “Man, these things are good!”

Thanks so much. It’s much easier to stay vegan when we have some great recipes to file as “delicious!”

We tried them and they were very good! I thought they had a bit too much salt, but my non-vegetarian friends said they liked it a lot. It’s a do-again. I must admit, I used white rice, because that’s all I had in the house at the time. I would like to try broiling sometime, if my tots could be entertained outside of the kitchen.

Our vegitarian friend made them and they were wonderful! I hope to try my hand at these. Even my kiddos liked them:)

Very good but like Tesha, they are way too salty. Next time I’ll only use soy sauce and believe I’ll just put 1 tablespoon particularly since the rice already has salt

1 tablespoon of salt has to be a mistake! I used 1/2 teaspoon and it was still on the verge of being salty. Otherwise good recipe!

Penelope, you must be right. I’m going to change it to one teaspoon in the recipe or leave it “to taste.”

These were really delicious! I didn’t have celery seed, so I substituted coriander (ground, of course).and I didn’t add any salt since I used 2 Tbs of tamari. Yum!
