Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound cooked, cleaned and peeled shrimp
  • 1 (6-ounce) can crabmeat
  • 1 (6-ounce) can salmon fish
  • 1 (7-ounce) can whole corn kernels, drained
  • 1 cup cooked white rice, leftover is fine

    Incredible! They surpassed my expectations. Way to go, Paula! The balance of fish and other savory ingredients is marvelous. Be careful not to make them too big. Also, I left out the rice because I didn't have any in the house. Still awesome!

    This recipe is excellent I have made them for about three years now every Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are wonderful and flavorful, the measurements are on point, I am from Monroe Louisianna and I actually make my own cajun tartar sauce, to put in to the mxture and also to serve them with. I am also a caterer and they are great at events. Thanks Paula

    Absolutely delicious. I used Japanese style bread crumbs and they worked wonderfully. I didn't have an issue forming the mixture into balls. I just put some of the mixture into the palm of one hand, used the fingers of my other to form it into a ball, switched it to the other hand and did the same.

    I don't know why so many people had issues. I noticed the rice comments and thought that maybe people cooked the rice and THEN measured it out. I cooked a cup of rice and added all of it to the mixture (which comes out to more than a cup when cooked.
    I think that adding bread crumbs to the mixture would dry them out and wouldn't recommend doing it.
    The complaints about them being too fishy: There's three kinds of seafood in them. Of course they're going to be "fishy". They're not going to taste like chicken.
    And: This is a recipe that has canned ingredients in it. If you don't like canned ingredients, you probably shouldn't have made them.
