Catfish Cakes

Extended Life for: Catfish, Egg, Parsley, Onion

Fish is NOT a favorite food for the palate of Melissa Harrington. For MONTHS we've had an uncanny amount of fish in our freezer. Occassionally, I will feel inspired to eat more fish or try to get rid of it bit by bit. I came across this recipe on Allrecipes.com and thought "I'll give it try." Little did I know that I would love every savory morsel of Catfish Cake that would grace my tastebuds. If you're wanting more fish in your diet or have a husband who wants more fish in their diet, yet you're not so sure you can do it, give this recipe a try - it just might win you over!

Ingredients:

1 lb. Catfish Filet
1 med. Onion chopped
1 tsp. Mustard
1 tbsp. Mayo
1 tsp. fresh Parsley, diced
2 1/2 cups Italian Bread Crumbs
2 Eggs
Splash of Milk
1/2 cup Flour
1 cup Vegetable Oil for frying

Directions:

Place catfish in saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to boil until fish flakes easily with fork. Drain fish and mash/flake fish in a medium bowl. Stir in onion, mustard, mayo, parsley and bread crumbs. Beat eggs and add some milk, place in shallow bowl. Pour flour in shallow bowl. Begin forming patties with the fish mixture. Before frying each patty, dip it in the egg mixture then the flour, then add patties to hot oil and fry until golden brown on each side. Continue until all mixture has been fried, serve warm and ENJOY!!!
