Fish Cakes?

[Bobb-o]

Looking for a good fish cake recipe now that the sucker run is almost upon us!

[fisherking01]

There was a thread a couple ?? years ago. was either fish cakes or fish patties. I'd run a search, as there were a lot of recipes on there.

One I posted and have used with all kinds of fish

fillet and grind fish, grind potato and onion. Mix 2 parts fish 2parts potato and 1 part onion. Mix together in bowl, add egg to bind together, season to taste. Make balls or patties and fry in hot oil until golden brown.

simple and very tasty.

Basically any meat loaf recipe will work - just use spices that go good with fish and add some "filler" like potatoes, crackers, bread crumbs, etc, and some egg and chopped onions and they will be better than about any fish sticks you can buy in the store... Make sure you grind the fish real fine to get rid of the bones or debone completely before grinding.

In a medium mixing bowl,combine fish,cornflake crumbs,onions,1 egg,the sherry,Worcestershire sauce,sesami oil,salt and pepper.Divide mixture into 6 equal portions.Shape each portion into 1/2-inch thick patties.

In a small mixing bowl,lightly beat the remaing 2 eggs.Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish.Dip patties first in eggs and then dredge in crumbs to coat.

In a 10-inch skillet,heat vegetable oil over medium heat.Add the patties.Fry for 2-4 minutes,or until golden brown,turning over once.Drain a paper toweled lined plate.

Serve with lemon wedges,tarter or cocktail sauce.

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!

Ditto for me on the chunky cakes. Instead of grinding them i'll take boneless perch or eyes and chop the uncooked fillets, add a few eggs, some italian breadcrumbs, a chopped and sauteed sweet onion, plus some s&p. Make em into patties and fry em up...

Cheffrey,

That sounds great! Walleye is high on my favorites list and I really like panko. I'll be trying the sauteed version soon.

So you pre-cook the fish?

How do you broil the fish?(naked, water, milk? what temp, time)

What about boiling instead?

Thanks, looking for new ways to cook our fish.

[Tom Linderholm]

Yep, fish is pre-cooked. I spray it with a little bit oil, salt and pepper and throw it in the oven till it its flakey.

Personally, I am not a big fan of boiling the meat unless its going to be served in it's own broth.

[snapcrackpop]

Thanks.

The only boiled fish I've had is northern, dipped in butter it's pretty darn good. And simple.

[pocketknife]

Oh boy looks like some good recipies mmm. Just to add one note I found that when I do some northern for cakes I grind them 2 times then no y bones and I make a bunch of them and then put some in freezer its quick cook in hot oil right out of freezer.

I wonder if that counts as fish in possesion?

probly does I better not tell anybody ha ha ha

[Tom Linderholm]

Thought I would revive this for those asking and add a picture of the finished product.
