Our family loves seafood, so I've tried many fish cake recipes. I came up with this combination and it's been a hit at our house. It's outstanding served with corn bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound flaked cooked whitefish, cod or haddock
  • 1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Tartar sauce and lemon wedges, optional

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the first nine ingredients; mix well. Shape into 12 patties, adding additional water if needed; coat with the Italian bread crumbs. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes on each side. If desired, serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon.
Soft Bread Crumbs
To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender. Cover and pulse until crumbs form. One slice of bread yields 1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbs.
