It's as strange to us as it must be to our devoted fish cake fans; this meal is the first time “Cajun fish cakes” occurred to us, after years of making fish cakes from all over the globe. We think you'll agree once you taste these; we've saved the best for the latest. Flakey, delicious fish combined with panko and mayo forming breezy light cakes, garnished with the classic Cajun remoulade sauce. It took us awhile to get here, but it was well worth the wait.
