Snapper Cakes image

Saw this recipe on a television show being made and just had to try these. They have egg or breadcrumbs, they are all snapper and vegetables. They hold together quite well and a very tasty. The original recipe calls for pan frying but I lightly oiled an oven tray and used in the oven. I think the B.B.Q. would be great! They could also be made smaller and would make great appetizers.

These snapper cakes were a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of fish.

These snapper cakes were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more seasoning.

The snapper cakes were good, but they were a little dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more moisture to the mixture.

These snapper cakes were a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
