Reminds me of the Salmon patties my FIL used to make back in the day.

My dad used to make these "fish biscuits" and I don't have the recipe. I know the recipe called for fresh poached fish, mayo and flour and he would make biscuits and bake them, but I know I am missing key ingredients. I have never found a recipe for them and this looks similar, except my dad baked his. Any one have a similar recipe to this? Perhaps it was this and my memory is failing me.

Like these?
