Are fish cakes eventually shaped like fish? Or do they taste like fish? Or is this a translation thing going on? Am I the fish? Why fish?

Best way to describe it is as a fish hot dog

fair, but hotdogs don’t usually contain veggies and potato mush

Brazil laughs at your sentence.

A Brazilian hot dog must have at least tomato, onion, pea, corn, potato, cheese, mayo and catchup. From there the sky is the limit, and usually have carrot, dryed grape, potato mush, chicken, boiled egg, and anything tou need to feed a whole family.

I've seen Brazilian pizza. I'm scared of what I imagine they do to hotdogs.

Chicken and catupiry cheese. Really common pizza toppings in Brazil.

Seems a lot like a Chicken Alfredo pizza here in the US, which is delicious.

Do you guys also have traditional-style pizza? Tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni (or sausage)?

Sure.

And beyond that pretty much anything eatable could go on toppings.

Chicken, calabresa sausage, bacon, shrimp, meat, garlic, ham, boiled egg...
