I actually kind of made these twice. The first time we were in a hurry and I definitely didn't let them cook long enough. Make sure that you cook them until they are brown and cooked before you go to flip them. If you don't, they will likely fall apart. Like mine did. But as you can see from the picture the second batch went much better and were still really tasty! The homemade tartar sauce was also really good-it had just a bit of tabasco that gave it a good bite.
