Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Crappie Filets (or other White Fish)
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, Finely Diced
  • ½ Medium Onion, Finely Diced
  • 1 cup Crushed Saltine Crackers
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1.5 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice, plus more for serving 
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Large Egg
  • Butter or Oil

Instructions

  1. Heat CanCooker or Dutch oven over any heat source over medium low heat.
  2. Add in a tablespoon of butter or oil then add in the crappie filets. Cook for a couple minutes per side, until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste as it cooks.
  3. Set crappie aside to cool. Once it’s cooled, break up the crappie into small pieces.
  4. In a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients for the crappie cakes: diced bell pepper, diced onion, saltine, crackers, mayo, Dijon, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and an egg. Mix well then add in broken up crappie pieces and mix again.
  5. Form into 6 (½ inch thick) patties.
  6. Bring Dutch oven or Cancooker back up to medium heat and add in butter or oil, about 2 tablespoons worth. Once warmed, place 3 crappie patties into the oil once it’s warmed and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Carefully flip so they don’t fall apart. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining crappie patties. Add more butter or oil as needed.
  7. Serve warm with additional lemon juice for drizzling.
