Black Hawk Fish Cakes
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds fish (we use a mix of porgy, seabass, cod, etc)
- 2 heaping tablespoons of mayo
- 1 heaping tablespoon of dijon mustard
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups of Italian flavored bread crumbs
- 1 cup of chopped onions
- 1 cup of chopped green peppers
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
Fish:
- Clean the fillets- be sure to remove all the red meat. Then cut fish into 4″ pieces
- Poach until done- white and flakey, about 10 minutes
- Place cooked fish in colander and press out as much water as possible. Leave in colander to cool
Vegetables:
- Chop all vegetables into very small pieces
- Saute green peppers, onions and celery in olive oil until tender. Set aside to cool
To Make Cakes:
- In large mixing bowl- combine mayo, eggs and vegetables
- Add in Red Bay and pepper flakes
- Flake the fish and add to the mixture .Mix until well combined. Do not over mix!
- Mix in bread crumbs a little at a time, until the mixture is easy to form into patties. Don’t add all the breadcrumbs at once or the mixture will become hard.
- Using your hands, form cakes from the mixture.
For best results, refrigerate cakes for at least an hour before cooking!
To cook: fry pan in olive oil and butter until browned and heated through. Alternatively, you can bake the cake for 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce!

Thank you Kim P for this recipe!
Serves 4, or 2 very generously
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Spray 9×13″ baking dish with PAM
- Filet and skin bass and cut into serving-size portions

- Seal bag and crush with rolling pin to make seasoned crumbs. Place crumbs in low wide dish
- Melt a stick of butter. Dip both sides of fillets in melted butter
- Dip one side only of filet in crumbs. Place in baking dish crumb side up. When all fish have been coated, sprinkle remaining crumbs over fish.
