Made these twice. Taste: not great, fishy tasting but may be ok for those who enjoy canned salmon. Tasted better with cooked frozen fillets the second time. Prep/cooking time: States takes 35mins. Took me over an hour. Preparation is PAINFULLY long and the goopy balls are a huge drag to dip and roll. Takes FOREVER. Recipe for 4 ended up making 21 patties and made some larger than recommended when I got frustrated. Usually takes me the stated times to make the recipes here Kids: my son would not go near them, and he usually eats patties and fish. To sunmarize: not worth the surprising amount or work for such a mediocre result. Will not make again, very unhappy with them.
Should have read the recipe before starting it, because I did not count on having to cook the potatoes first - which is not included in the cooking time amount on the recipe - and losing 20 minutes. I served these with rice and they were okay, but tasted like bland mashed potatoes and fish. Granted, I did not have any Cayenne pepper and used white pepper instead, but still, these lacked flavour. On the other hand, the recipe is rather generous and we only ate half the croquets, so there were leftovers to snack on which actually tasted better cold and by themselves.
Alot of work for not being flavorful. Had no problem making the balls, they stayed together good. Made in the oven. Also made the tartar sauce from this site as the patties were quite dry.
