I grew up eating these. Dad used breadcrumbs no lemon juice, everything else the same. I have a can in the pantry now was going to make them in a day or so.

Canned Salmon! The bones are one of the best parts!

I like canned salmon, and they are lower in Purines than Anchovies and other fish, so gout (an occasional issue) is not as much of an issue. In this household I am pretty much alone in this viewpoint.

(For anyone with a problem with gout, you need to avoid food with purines. Here is a link to a list of foods with Purines:

Looks delicious. My ex-FIL was a fisherman for Bumble Bee and my MIL had some great canned salmon recipes. This one looks familiar.

What size should the package of saltines be? You get them packaged as two or four with soup in a restaurant, there are different size boxes, or the boxes have sleeves of various sizes...

I love salmon but dislike salmon patties. Give me crab cakes!!!

I wonder how well this recipe works with canned tuna or mackerel?
