Comment on What is the food eaten in Close Encounters during the infamous mashed potato scene?

It looks like there are 2 kinds of brown things.
One type that is a lighter brown looks spheroid, possibly potatoes or dinner rolls.
Another type is a darker brown, looks like fat cylinders, possibly deep fried breaded fish/salmon/crab cakes, as others have said.
The lighter brown ones could also be fish/salmon/crab cakes, but from a different manufacturer, or just shaped differently.

This would be my take, some sort of fish cake (tuna, since they were Midwest, salmon cakes more likely on the Pacific coast).
