Very runny, Took so many breadcrumbs to hold the mixture together that's all I could taste. Way too much salt, too.

I followed this recipe exactly and wondered about the 1/3 cup dried bread crumbs, the mixture was very runny and all in all I believe I went through at least 1/1/2 cups of crumbs to get the job done. Flavor was just ok to me.

These were sooooo good! I used some old bay seasoning in the mix and a drop of Tabasco. I also used spicy brown mustard instead of reg prepared.

Our family really liked it. I used Panko for bread crumbs, and added chopped cilantro. Yummy!
