These sound really good -- I think we'll try them!
I grew up eating salmon patties and pan-fried potatoes at least once a week. It was a fairly economic meal for our family of six.
When my Mom made the salmon mixture, she left the bones in and we ate them - they're soft and an excellent source of calcium. We were never bothered by eating them.
