As our garden is now starting to produce peas I was reminded of one of my favorite fish dishes. If you know me you know that I am not extremely fond of fish, but I love this recipe! I remember helping Grandma make this when I was little. She would get all the ingredients out and dump them into a large bowl. I then got the super fun job of mashing it all together with my bare hands! Of course, you had to be kind of careful not to make too much of a mess.
