Fish Cakes Recipe - Cooking Index
This recipe works great with any kind of fish or a combination of fish, but I prefer those varieties, which are flaky rather than firm. Striped bass, panfish, catfish and lingcod fillets are exceptional when formed into cakes.

Combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add fish and combine mixture with hands until blended. Do not overmix. Mixture should be chunky. Form into 8 round cakes, about 3/4- to 1-inch thick.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add cakes and lightly brown on first side, about 4 minutes. Turn cakes over carefully with a spatula and cook for 3 minutes more or until cakes or just cooked throughout.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
