Halibut Cakes (Croquettes)

9-20-2018 ~The fortuitous events of Hubs (who doesn’t like halibut) being in Canada and my having more halibut the other night than I could eat in one sitting led me to this recipe. What a winner! I didn’t have lemon, but that didn’t stop me from making this – I’m one of those rare individuals who doesn’t like lemon with my fish anyway. I didn’t have Italian blend cheese (don’t use it), but the shredded blend I had on hand worked just fine. I also used half the amount of Worcestershire called for, which I did because it seemed like overkill to me. Good call, at least for my tastes. I served this over Maque Choux and it was awesome good. Just wish I hadn’t let the frying time get away from me – it goes from just right to overbrowned in the blink of an eye!

Fantastic way to use leftover halibut. Only change I made was to use celery instead of onion, because onion doesn’t agree with me. Yummy and I’ll definitely make it again! Thank you for sharing, Lori.

I used leftover Halibut. Followed the recipe. Will use the recipe again.

I made it with leftover grilled halibut, so it was very fast and easy. And very flavorful.

Had to improvise because I was making it with 7 lb of halibut, but it was delicious!

Made it as is. Didn't have Old Bay Spice so used Roasted red pepper seasoning.

Yes. I added celery and a pinch of Cayenne. I made 6 patties- nope not next time- I’ll make 10! They are very good, they just fell apart when I fried them so I’m thinking they were too big. Awesome!

Pretty good. Used leftover cod and fried a little to long. But I still liked it

These were delicious! Made exactly as written, but used Jan's Old Bay Seasoning Substitute on this site. My only complaint would be that the breadcrumbs were burning fast on me, but that's likely my issue. Definitely need to pay close attention frying these. Next time I'd omit the breadcrumb coating or reduce the heat a notch. Thanks for the recipe!

To be honest, I used this as a method and adjusted flavors, however it worked perfectly! Having never made fish cakes before, the mixture was loose but manageable, and they came out beautiful. Thank you! side note - I used french fried onions and cracker crumbs to bread the patties. Yum!

Used leftover Halibut. It was a big hit in our household of non-fish lovers. Will definitely make again.

These turned out delicious. I had left over (if you can believe that) baked halibut. This is nearly exact recipe I have always used. Absolutely delicious ... hollandaise sauce & excellent Halibut eggs Benedict.

Delicious!!! I read other reviewer notes and left off the breadcrumb coating and they were perfect! I subbed a few spices for the Old Bay that I did not have. For the cheese, I mixed some shredded mozzarella with grated good parmesan. I also made them with salmon. Keeper recipe!! To keep from falling apart, I pressed batter into a 1/4 cup measure and gently tapped the cakes out into pan & didn't move or flip them until browned on one side. At this size you'll get more than 6.
