Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. whitefish (haddock, cod, tilapia, etc.)
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 4 scallions, roughly chopped (entire scallion)
  • 6 large garlic cloves
  • 5 slices day-old white bread (leave it out for a few hours to dry)
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil for pan-frying

For the dipping sauce

  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon dill pickle relish
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • Lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

  • Put an inch of water in a stockpot and steam the fish and potatoes together for 15-20 mins. until potatoes are tender. Drain the pot reserving a cup of the liquid. Allow the fish and potatoes to cool in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the parsley, scallions, garlic, bread, and S&P in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is fine. Add this breading mixture to the bowl containing the fish and potatoes and mix together.
  • Beat the eggs and add to the fish mixture, then add the parmesan and mix together.
  • Now wash your hands and dive in, mixing it all by hand, breaking up the potatoes. To do this right will take 4-5 minutes, but it's worth it. Once done, roll a handful of the mixture between your palms then form a patty about 4 inches across and a 1/2 inch thick. Keep doing this until all the mixture is used. If it seems dry or the patties aren't holding together well, add a little of the reserved cooking water to the bowl.
  • Using a cast iron pan, fry the fishcakes over medium heat until crispy and golden, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the dipping sauce and/or lemon wedges.
