Another cold day in Wichita, and another wonderful chance to spend time in the kitchen, experimenting... This time it’s fish cakes. I tried several different types of fish; finally settling on a 50/50 mix of shrimp and cod. Feel free to try your own mix. I then added some spices to kick up the flavor, and baked, not fried the results. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
