Wouldn't you use some flour as a binder? I would think they would just fall apart. We used to eat "salmon croquettes" as a kid. Made from canned salmon ofcourse. Add an egg and some minced onion. Form into a patty and roll in flour. Shake off excess, dip in egg and roll in cornmeal. Fry 'er up.
And at my house, having a rule that encouraged us kids to eat in a frenzy would have only invited dad to rap us in the head to slow down. He hated fast eating.
Tonight we eat... Deviled Dungeness Crab.
