The best time to eat fluke is the same day you catch them, but I have a bunch in the freezer
that I'd like to make fishcakes with but I can't
find a good recipe. I have many good fluke recipes but not fishcakes. Any help??

Uncle Luna your on, I am sure you have one... grtn

Uncle Luna's Fish Cakes
fish fillets fluke,yes even bluefish works well
1=lb of fillets roughly
juice of 1 lemon
couple dashes hot sauce or to taste
2 eggs
1/2 tbls old bay or to taste
1 onion diced fine
1 celery stalk diced fine
1 tbls mustard
3 tbls relish
1 cup crushed corn flakes or saltine crackers
Put fillets in micowave safe dish in batches and cook thru. Flake fish apart and put in large bowl, add the rest of ingrediants except corn flakes and mix well. Add the corn flakes or saltines and mix. You might have to add more
you want the fishcakes to hold togrther when you form them not too wet nor too dry.
Form cakes and roll in bread crumbs. Put if frying pan with enough oil to fry till golden brown on both sides.
Most people don't like bluefish but I make them like this and everyone who tried them liked them
ENJOY with tarter sauce.

Uncle Luna you should save that recipe on your computer just to have when a newbie comes along. This way you don't have to retype it again.

Your right Paul, everytime I make them I add whatever is availabe they come out different every time. I have also added shredded zucchini or potatoes and they are good also you can adjust it to whatever you like in it

I Have some in the fridge going to get one now TT^

Sweet, I will have to try your recipe this week, unfortunately I only have frozen fluke in the freezer. I wish it was fresh but it is better than nothing.
I think tomorrow will be a fishcake dinner.

Uncle Luna,
I searched the web for days trying to find a recipe that looked good, this one is the winner-good job, thanks. I added a couple of things(finely diced red pepper, tsp of diced capers,
garlic powder).
I have it chilling in the fridge and will cook them up tonight.
Thanks for the fast reply!

Uncle luna, you say this works for bluefish too?
I like just about anything that comes out of the ocean except bluefish, and I never tried sea robins. If sea robin fishcakes were good we would all have as much as we wanted! Have you ever tried it?
-Mr Limpet

Never ate sea robins, but I hear that they are good ? But with the bluefish you would never know it was bluefish try it next time you catch one of those demons.
-
hard to get enough meat off the searobins.

Uncle Luna , I enjoy fish cakes and look forward to trying your recipe with in the next few nights.(for some reason I can not print your recipe tonight)Printer ??????
Wifey has made seperate dinners of bluefish, blackfish, and seabass fishcakes in the past.Yummy. I'll let ya know how it works out. Thanks, AJ.

Uncle Luna, I made your fish cakes tonight and they were a winner. I was told that I can make them again anytime I want to, but the only problem was the time it took to prep (and get somethings) ready for cooking. Thats OK they were fantastic.
I had to omit the bread crumbs which made the outer crust not to hard. All I had was the seasoned breadcrumbs that I made a small one to try. It was good but too many spices running around so I omitted it. Next time I will use the unseasoned type.
Its a keeper though, thank you...

Glad you enjoyed them.
-
fishcakes are great when using fish you normally don't like.. Fluke, in my opinion, it just too good, too many other ways..
-
I agree, but when the rest of the family shy away from fish it is good to find something that they really enjoy.
Paul
-
Good quality fish enhance the taste of the fishcakes however.
I hope to make some today;will try Uncle Luna's recipe.
-
Unc Luna, Made the Fluke fishcakes and added some boiled potatoes instead of corn flakes,and some garlic powder with thyme and parsley.
Delicious. Big hit at the House. AJ.
-
Here is a simple fishcake recipe that I've used for ling...should work for fluke or any white fish.

Fish Cakes
2 pound fillets
3 tbsp diced red pepper
3 tbsp white onion
1 tbsp butter
1 large leftover boiled potato
Corn oil
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1 tsp worstershire sauce
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Steam the fillets until cooked.
While you steam the fish sautee the pepper and onion in the butter for 3 minutes
on high. Boil the potato until done. Cool the potato and peel the skin. Mash the
potato up. Mix the fish, pepper, onion, and potato together. Add the breadcrumbs,
eggs, worstershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly . Make sure there are nice sized lumps of fish. If needed add more breadcrumbs until it stays together when you
make cakes with it. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet and fry
sized cakes until golden brown. Serve with tarter sauce.
