Steps:

• Boil the potato in salted water until tender but not mushy (or bake the potato until tender but not overly soft).
• Place the fish in a skillet which can be covered and cover the fish with salted water.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, turn off the heat, cover the fish and let it poach in the water for ten minutes.
• Transfer the fish via slotted spoon to a bowl.
• Peel the cooked potato and add it to the fish and mash the two together.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Add the seasonings and salt and pepper to taste to the fish/potato mixture and work the mixture with your hands until well blended.
• Shape into 8 equal burger-shaped patties.
• Brush the patties on both sides with the oil and place on a non-stick or foil covererd cookie sheet.
• Broil about 4" from heat source until nicely browned on top--about 3 minutes; then turn and brown the other side.
• Serve hot garnished with lime wedges and additional cilantro.

Steps:

• Set oven to broil. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with half of the butter. Place on rack in broiler pan.
• Broil with top of fish steak about 4 inches from heat 5 minutes. Brush with butter. Carefully turn fish. (If fish sticks to the rack, loosen gently with a turner or fork.) Brush other side with butter.

Steps:

• With poultry shears or a sharp knife cut off necks, feet, and first 2 wing joints of each quail and discard. Cut out and discard backbones and halve each quail lengthwise through breast. Arrange quail halves in one layer in a shallow flameproof baking pan.
