- ½ cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 ½ - 2 cups flaked cooked fish
- oil for frying
- tartar sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 1 inch deep of oil in a large, deep skillet to 375° F.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, breadcrumbs, cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, and lemon pepper, mixing well. Stir in the fish.
- Scoop the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls.
- Carefully place the balls in hot oil - make sure you don't overcrowd the pan and fry in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown, turning as necessary to fry the fish balls evenly. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with tartar sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use salmon or tuna with Asian inspired seasonings and Asian-flavored dipping sauce, Tilapia with Mediterranean seasonings and a Mediterranean-flavored dipping sauce, Catfish with Creole seasoning and a spicy Cajun-flavored dipping sauce, LOTS of possibilities with this one!
