14 oz. (approximately) canned salmon or tuna
1/4 c. liquid from salmon or tuna
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c. flour
1 heaping tsp. baking powder
Pepper (optional, to taste)
Oil for deep frying

Drain the salmon or tuna and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid. Put salmon or tuna into a mixing bowl, breaking it apart well with a fork. Add flour, slightly beaten egg, then pepper, if desired (no salt) and mix well.

Add the baking powder to the reserved liquid and beat well with a fork until foamy. Pour this back into the fish and stir until blended. (You cannot mix this in advance.)
