Hi Nancy,
A couple of replies for Dora and Georgia, maybe Betty could try looking for her fish recipe here too.
Dora, this recipe was posted on the Fish Notice Board by April B on April 13th 2004:

Cod Fish Cakes

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon oregano
1 cup water or milk
1 small green pepper, finely chopped
1 small bunch green onion*, chopped fine
1 pound cod fish bits or strip, cut up

Wash fish to remove any excess salt. Cover fish with water, cook until tender. Drain and flake the fish. Sift dry ingredients together. Combine with remaining ingredients, except fish. Mix well. Add fish and mix well. Taste, add salt if needed.

Drop by the teaspoonfuls into deep hot oil. If batter becomes too thick add more water or milk. Brown on one side and turn. Test for doneness. Drain on brown paper bags before serving.
*Also know as scallions

Georgia, I did a search on the same site above and found at least 3 recipes for Crab Cakes, some used breadcrumbs, but there was at least one of them used no breadcrumbs at all, so worth a look, good luck.
