Re: (...)
Okay - first I had to adjust the recipe - 1lb of fish for the two of us was too much - I had 10 oz. of frozen cod and had to adjust the recipe to fit that amount.
Second - I think the Guiness is just to dark a beer for this and for a couple of "old [url=mailto:f@rts"]f@rts"[/url] it was WAY too much salt and a bit too much garlic. A nice glass of Sauv. Blanc really helps.
Third - I will try this again with fresh cod and a lighter beer. The potato chips are really salty, and the Old Bay is a bit salty so I might adjust that too. The patties were easy to handle, and it was easy - just not at the top of my list

"Old Bay is a bit salty"??? Who are you speaking of? Do I resemble that remark??

Thank you for the review and tips. I agree with you on the Guiness, it's a very strong flavored beer.

I should probably keep still since I've not made the recipe, but...........imo (ONLY), I dislike anything poached, I would roast the fish myself (high temp) Maybe marinate it in some lighter (if you object to the Guiness) beer for an hour.
I may have to make this one, too.

Jean, I think roasting would be a great idea! If I really think about this I think any leftover (planned over?) white fish that has been cooked anyway other than poaching in Guinness (d@mn waste of good beer!
).
I am also thinking Tim's Cascade Salt & Vinegar chips might have been better than Lays. This recipe has really got me bugged because it sounded so good. I keep trying to think of ways to make it work. Potato flakes or buds in place of part of the chips???? Jean it's worth playing with!
