3. Place the fish along with the shrimp and scallops in a large bowl, add the onion mixture, cooked potatoes, 1 cup of the parsley, 1 cup of the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, Szechwan sauce, and lemon juice. Mix the remaining 3 cups bread crumbs and the remaining 1 cup parsley together in a shallow bowl.

5. Heat some of the remaining 1/2 cup canola oil in a large saute pan. Saute the cakes in the oil for 2 minutes and each side, until the cakes are golden brown. Be sure to change the oil in the pan if it gets too dark.
