Heat the oven to 100*C/225*F. Heat one TBS of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and translucent. Set aside.
Cut the fish into large chunks. Pulse in a food processor to coarsely chop. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the onion, tarragon, egg and tabasco sauce, combining well. Add remaining salt and pepper. Form into 8 3 inch patties. Dredge them in the dry bread crumbs, coating well and shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 TBS of oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Cook 4 patties until browned, about 5 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm in the oven while you cook the other four, using the remaining TBS of oil. Serve hot with tartar sauce. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with fish.
