Fish cakes come and fish cakes go, but a fish cake with the special crunch and salty assist of pretzels? That's one for the recipe book. We serve these flaky-on-the-inside, crunchy-on-the-outside cakes with a horseradish mayonnaise that has just the right amount of root spice, and broccoli with mustard (because what goes with pretzels if not mustard?) We've loved many a fish cake in our day, but not like these ones.
