Looking for fish cake recipe

I have some bluegill fillets that I am looking to do something different with. Was wondering if any one had a fishcake recipe or something other than just frying them.

Thanks Jeff

I don’t know of a fish cake recipe but you can’t go wrong with just wrappimg the bluegill in tinfoil with some butter, onions, garlic and lemon and either throwing it on the grill or in the oven for a few minutes.
Just my 2cents.

Take Care!!

I have done this with other fish and it works. Either bake or boil them till just tender. Flake them with a fork, mix in egg, Diced onion, cracker crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. You want these to hold together for in a patty, fry in oil til brown on each side. Almost like a crab cake, if you have ever had them. Can add a dash of garlic powder also if you wish. Can also dip in beaten egg and then in bread crumbs and then fry after the patty is made. These even good cold if you have left overs.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. fresh walleye (or bluegill), cleaned and deboned
1 1/4 c. mashed, cooked potatoes
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. fresh pepper
1 bunch green onions, minced
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
flour or cornmeal for rolling cakes
4 tbsp. vegetable oil

* Grind the walleye in a food processor or grinder.
* Cook and mash potatoes. Set aside and cool.
* In a bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients except vegetable oil. Add walleye and potatoes to mixture, shape into 2-inch patties, and dust the patties in flour or cornmeal.
* Heat vegetable oil in a sauté pan until hot. Sauté cakes until golden brown on both sides. They should be firm but not overcooked–about 3 minutes on each side.

HORSERADISH-SOUR CREAM SAUCE

3/4 c. sour cream or yogurt
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. freshly grated horseradish (or 1 tbsp. prepared horseradish)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. chopped fresh dill (optional)
1/4 c. milk

• Combine all the ingredients and mix well.

Made these several times with bluegills….they will go fast!!

Thanks

All the recipes sound good. Tried the one from JasonP tonight. The wife doesn’t like fish and she thought they were good. I’ll be trying the other methods in the future.

I fish a few different farm ponds and they want us to keep all the bluegill and crappie we catch. End up with a lot of small fillets that are good for fish cakes.
