During the summer I caught a 25-27" pickerel. Decided to keep it and made fish cakes. They were great.
My fish cakes include:
sweet potato
white potato
sauteed onion,pepper, garlic, celery
black pepper
salt
mayonaise
hot sauce
worcestire sauce
mustard
fish filets- *grind the pickerel if you like . Some of us dont get the extra y bones out and grinding them does the job.
bread crumbs
Directions:
I usually use 2 potatoes and 1-2 pounds of filet. Cook the potato and mash. Add the sauteed vegies. Add the chopped fish filet (raw). Add seasoning and other flavorings(sauces). Make into patties and cover with a layer of bread crumbs.
Cooking- Fry the cakes in olive oil until they brown . 2 minutes
Transfer the cakes to a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for another 20 minutes to cook the fish and blend the flavors.
Serve: We love them with spagetti and tomato sauce.
Any suggestions or twists on the fish cake please let us know.
