Saw this on another site.

Hopefully it is O.K. to share.

It looks like a winner!

Getting sick off the same old way you cook your catch of the day I have a recipe for fish cakes you'll love!!

1 limit of fillet crappies (other fish works)

1/2 red pepper minced (that small for people don"t now how to cook)

3 green onions minced

2 T old bay seasoning (seasoning salt works too)

1/2 bread crumbs

2 eggs

First dice up fish into small pieces, add all the rest of the ingriedients stir up like meat loaf. Patty up like slider size patties, put on wax paper sheet pan and freeze. Pull them off sheet pan and put them in zip lock bag to store in freezer. Take out as many you wish to pan fry with la ittle oil until cooked. You can cook right from the freezer. I like mine with tartar. really good

That is the one I saw last year on the other site and have now been using on all my fish. Brought them to a family get together last summer, and everyone couldn't get enough. I coat mine in Panko bread crumbs before freezing...

The best part of this recipe is not only the taste, but it takes about the same amount of time and effort to fry an egg, as it does to fry up a bunch of these crappie cakes...

[SkunkedAgain]

Since someone posted a walleye version of this as well, it's worth stating that you might consider these fish cakes as a good use for smaller northerns (the ones that most of you don't like to clean).

[reinhard1]

that's what i like to use. the smaller pike are fairly easy to get and taste great on their own. but you can make a good batch with two or three pike. good luck.

I'll bet it was this one, it's fantastic.

Walleye Cakes Cheffrey

Fishing Minnesota Recipe forum 4-15-07

When I make fish cakes I like to do my best to keep the fish chunky so the cakes have a little character. Here is the recipe for the ones I do at Larsmont Cottages:

Walleye Cakes

3 lbs. Walleye (broiled)

1 large carrot shredded

2 stalk celery diced

½ medium red onion diced

4 cups panko (bread crumbs)

2 cups mayo

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

S&P

Bake off your fish with a little salt, pepper & olive oil. Allow it to cool prior to mixing the ingredients. I like to add the fish last and mix everything with my hands only lightly breaking it up. Once mixed I use a ice cream scoop to portion and hand patty to form. Saute in a little bit of olive oil or egg wash, bread crumb and fry. Your choice.

Enjoy!

another great one third eye!!!!good luck.

another great one third eye!!!!good luck.

Thats the one demo'd in the link I put up by Chef Tom Linderholm...

Heres a more direct link to the demo...

I make mine similar but prefer to hand chop uncooked fish for the patties...

That's it.... Boy, Chef Tom's finished plate looks a lot fancier than mine does. Heheheee. He used to post often here and this is still one of my favorites. It's neat because once you get the technique down, you can easily make substitutes

[reinhard1]

thanks. i watched the link and got all kinds of meal plans for this including making some while camping. i think i will be using northerns for the cakes. make a big batch and freeze them for later use. thanks again. good luck.

Been trying to plan out dinners for fish camp for the opener this year.

This will be a great addition. Freeze some up and bring them with. Looks like a great lunch menu item also, quick and easy perfect for lunch.

[Mnfisher]

Cheffrey's recipe looks and sound great. What does the mayo do? Moisten everything up? Could a person use the miracle whip salad dressing instead?

Thanks, Jim

ps...I grind up my Northern Pike twice, bones and all...works good

[reinhard1]

i'm thinking of making some burger size for the bun with lettuce tomatoe and tarter sauce also. keeping more pike this year it looks like. good luck.

[ducker]

Exactly what I did thirdeye and they turned out great! Have a few left over for sandwiches at noon like reinhard1 ids talking about below. Good eatin!

[PEATMOSS]

In the area that I live we have a few lakes that are literally infested with hammerhandle northerns. The DNR has enacted special regs that allow for the harvest of 9 or 10 of these jig stealing little bastards.

I have a particular friend that brings his family up to visit each year. These people are the worst fishermen on Gods' green earth. I take him and his family out and we catch a limit of these slimers.

We bring home 50+ of these little guys and I fillet them, taking out the ribs, but disregarding the Y-bones. I then run all the fillets a couple times thru my meatgrinder.

I add about 20% smoked salmon, chopped onions, some garlic and Old Bay seasoning, some smashed Ritz crackers, and some fineley grated smoked Gouda cheese. I add just enough beaten eggs to make the batch fairly sticky.

I make both large patties, for a main course or sandwiches, as well as small patties for apps. I press the patties into Panko breadcrumbs. The patties can be fried fresh or frozen for later use.

I like to make a dipping sauce out of mayo, lemon juice, Old Bay and a little horseradish and garlic.

Sorry for the lack of detail. I never use a recipe and don't have precise measurements.

[croixflats]

I had some salmon cakes last night from some left over smoked salmon pretty much the general stuff but I left out the Old Bay and added some chipolte hot sauce to the mayo. Gave a nice accent and added smokiness to the salmon. I also used a reserve of the chipolte mayo to drizzle a little over the cooked cakes.

Man were they tasty.

Thirdeye,

With this recipe do you think you could freeze the fish cakes without loosing too much of consistancy from the celery and carrots?

[JimBuck]

Awesome recipe. I'm cleaning out the freezer of fillets this weekend and was looking for a different way to prepare some perch fillets. Thanks guys.

[Walleyehooker]

I made some of these yesterday

Microwaved 4-5 walleye fillets on plate for 2-3 minutes depending on size of fillets and crumble.

Added bread crumbs,minced onion,crab boil and eggs.

Make into patties and fry in olive oil or freeze for later.

I didnt measure anything but its easy to see what you need.

[Walleyehooker]

Next time I make these Im going to add some crab meat or shrimp with the walleye as the walleye doesnt have that much flavor.
