What Are Striper Cakes?
Striper cakes are a type of seafood cake made with fresh striped bass. They’re similar to crab cakes, but instead of using crab meat, they use striped bass that has been filleted and minced. Striped bass is a popular game fish that can be found in coastal waters and is prized for its mild, sweet flavor.
Striper Cakes Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fresh striped bass
- 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon of minced parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Instructions To Make Striper Cakes
First, you’ll need to fillet the striped bass. To do this, lay the fish on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut along the spine from head to tail. Carefully remove the fillet from the bone and discard the bones.
Using a food processor, mince the striped bass fillets until they are finely chopped.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced striped bass, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, minced parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Form the mixture into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the striper cakes to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the striper cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the striper cakes hot, garnished with additional parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
