This was last night's dinner. It was very good. Eating
low carb can be quite difficult sometimes but the
Special K crumbs (have to make them yourself - grind
Special K finely) are a bit lower in carb than the
regular bread crumbs. I've been told to try grinding
pork rinds too but haven't tried that yet. Anyway,
these were very good - my DH and DS did not notice
that they were any different than the usual fish cakes
I've made in the past. Use whatever chiles you wish in
it. I used a jalapeno that Paul K sent me (thanks a
lot, pod pal) but you can use habs or fatalis or
anything you wish that would go.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I used Special K cereal. First I ground it into
flour, or crumbs. I used less than 1 cup of crumb
mixture for the recipe. Do it by feel.
