Mullet's Marvelous Mackerel Morsels (for dogs)

This is from Dog Bites! canine cuisine by Rick and Martha Reynolds - it stinks like heck at first, but goes away.
1 can mackerel (15 ounces)
1/2 cup whole grain bread crumbs
1 Tbsp. minced onion, optional
1 Tbsp. minced green pepper
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a fork, mash the mackerel in a medium-sized bowl. (See how long you can hold your breath.) Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Using your hands, roll the dough into walnut sized balls. Press to flatten them slightly and bake on greased cookie sheers for about 20 minutes - they should be lightly brown and firm. Flip the fish cakes over and put back in the oven for about 5 minutes to dry them out slightly.
Cool completely before storing in an airtight (honest to God - make it airtight or you will be sorry) container in the refrigerator. They stink like heck when baking, but the smell goes away only to come back. My old dog, Sniffer just loves these.
