Fish Patty Sandwiches

Here is another fish based recipe to hold you ove until I get my pictures of perch fishing last weekend uploaded.

If you ask Musky, I had been talking about a fish sandwich idea for a couple of months. Well, I finally made these sandwiches, and let me tell you, they were what I had been imagining.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
6 small cod fillets (frozen)
15-20 crackers
green onions
1 tablespoon of whip dressing (Miracle Whip) o mayonnaise
1 egg
salt & pepper
chili seasoning
bread crumbs
bread of your choice
lettuce
tomatoes
sliced red onions
2 tablspoons of whip dressing (Miracle Whip) or mayonnaise
some fresh dill to taste
mustard to taste

Now, this recipe is a take on a crab cake recipe, but worked out great with the fish.

First, poach the cod in a shallow pan.
Bring a shallow pan of water to a simmer, add cod, and cook until no longer opaque.
Drain cod and set aside to cool..
Once cool, place cod in a bowl and crumble crackers into the fish.
I use Ritz for added flavour.  Substitute with your cracker of choice.
Mix in 1 tablepoon of Whip Dressing.
Mix egg into mixture.
Add chili seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.
Form into 4 patties.
Sprinkle bread crumbs onto the patties for texture.
Pan fry the patties over medium high heat until golden brown.

For the dill sauce;
Chop the dill and mix into 2 tablespoons of Whip Dressing.
Add mustard to taste.

Toast bread, and dill sauce, lettuce, tomato slices, and red onions to fish patties and enjoy. 

Musky really enjoyed this dish, as did I.  I could ot be happier with how it turned out, and is a dish that I will make again.
I really need to remember to take pictures of these dishes.  But trust me, they are tasty.

Til next time....

Update

Here is a brief update of where I am with respect to fishing.  I have been pretty busy finishing off the rods for my groomsmen.  I am quite happy with my progress as  rod builder. My wraps have improved as has my epoxy work.  I want to progress to the point where my epoxy work is smooth and clean.  Still a ways to go. 
I have recievd nearly all of the parts for custom rod orders for Kakka and My Best Friend's Girl, and am really excited to get going on those rods.  I have glued the butts to their rods, but am waiting for some parts to bling up their rods.
I am really excited abou Musky's rod.  I have to paint her blank,and I have to order her bilng.  I am ordering a few Matagi parts for her,which are pretty expensive premium Japanese components.  However, they shoud make her rod really nice.
We have had warm weather here and the ice s mostly off the lakes.  I am looking forward to getting out on the water and scratching that fishing itch.

Sorry this post wasnt't funny or entertaining.  Just infomative.  I may as well Twitter this.  Too bad I hate the idea of Twitter.
