Just back from Panama... tried something with a "not-so desirable" fish

Jurel is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_crevalle_jack

IMHO, many fish types would also work… Big Bluefish… Big Rockfish, Cod, Cobia etc.

Rinse off Jurel fish slab ( #5 slab maybe)... pat dry on paper towels…

Slice into narrow strips (aka fish sticks).

Dip in a beaten raw egg, then roll in bread crumbs mixed with Mrs Dash Roasted Garlic and Herb blend… pepper or whatever.

Pan fry in a thin layer of oil... i.e. fish sticks.

Eat them for dinner and done... OR

---------------------

Make Fish cakes...

Allow to cool sufficiently to then Shred/mash the fish

Mix with:
2-3 beaten eggs (holds everything together)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Texas Pete (more or less to taste)... or other hot sauce of your choice
1-2 cup crushed potato chips (more or less)... smash up the chips inside the bag
1 tbs Worchestershire sauce
1 tbs mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Once mixed well in a bowl, scoop out in 1/2 cup portions and fry in a pan of hot oil, shaping into patties as you set it into the pan.

Cook each side until dark golden brown… about 1/2"+ to 3/4” thick... If you do any thinker they will be undercooked in the middle.

Serve on toast or a bun with a generous serving of bread and butter pickles or sweet relish...

Think crabcake... or fish burger.

Damn good eats.

Drop me a PM with an email address if you want a version of this recipe with PICTURES.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
