Hit It With A Hammer

Various: salmon patties and stuff.

I have in the past called these croquettes (as opposed to croquetes which instead of eating, you hit with a hammer). That is not really correct. It sounds more appetizing than "patty" but what is pictured is held together with egg and bread crumbs. A croquette uses a thick bechamel or mashed potatoes as a binder. It's a detail, but details are sometimes important.
