I was really disappointed with this recipe, especially with how many glowing reviews it got. For me, the flavor just wasn't great. I thought I'd give it a shot but after making it, I'll never try another recipe for fish that calls for mayo or miracle whip, it ruins a wonderful piece of fish like halibut or salmon. Thanks for the recipe, but having grown up with good Alaskan seafood, I'll stick with my dad's method.

After reading other reviews I decided to make some changes of my own. I cut the shortening to 1/4 cup and added 1/4 cup cinnamon applesauce. I cut the vanilla in half and substituted almond extract. I also used 1-1/2 Tbsp cherry juice and pecans instead of walnuts. After I had everything mixed I added a little extra flour to make up for the added wet ingredients. Baked per recipe and I must say they turned out very moist and very yummy!

Coming from somebody who has never liked yams, this was absolutely delicious. I boiled fresh yams until half cooked, peeled, and sliced them. As an additional I dusted brown sugar layer with cinnamon. Top notch recipe, even for those who don't know they like yams...yet.
