Blue Fish Cakes

Let me start with the notion that blue fish is too oily and fishy tasting. True and true, but not if you enhance the flavor and minimize the fishy. Soaking in milk takes away some of the fish taste and lemon, capers and hot sauce will make the oily just background noise. The bread crumbs help with the softness of the fish and make a solid fish cakes. I hope you like it.
