Ingredients

1 pound catfish fillets
2 ½ cups coarsely crushed buttery round crackers
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large egg
1 tablespoon creamy salad dressing (e.g. Miracle Whip)
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM, or to taste
¼ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

Place catfish in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and drain water.
Mash fish in the saucepan. Stir in crackers, onion, egg, salad dressing, mustard, and Old Bay until evenly blended. Form into 8 patties.
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a patty should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot.
