With fishing busting loose for many species heading into a weekend of cooler weather, a new moon and overall fall-fishing mania, it’s a must to have a great fish recipe at hand.

Whether you like to chase striped bass, sneak up on panfish, or stay close to home and catch catfish in Community waters, here’s a great way to prepare any tasty, white-meat fish:

Serves 4

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pound white-fleshed fish fillets, cooked and flaked
1 large egg
1 small yellow onion, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
½ cup cornflakes crumbs, divided
Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. Place a large skillet on medium-high heat and add enough oil to just cover the bottom.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine fish, egg, onion, lemon juice, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper and stir together thoroughly. Add half the cornflakes to the mixture and gently toss together.
3. Separate the mix into fourths and form each into a round patty. Roll each patty in remaining cornflakes to coat the outside.
4. Place patties in the hot oil and fry both sides until crisp and browned to your liking.
5. Serve and enjoy.
