“I like to make fish burgers because they are lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than other ones. I figure that I can use some avocado because there's not a lot of other fat in the burgers.” —Virginia Anthony of Jacksonville, Florida

The sauce was excellent. The fish was good, but a little spicy. I think I will lay off on the caribbean spice a bit next time. In all it was good though.
