These were sooo delicious! I actually added a little lemon zest and Ritz crackers to the mix. I also boiled the fish in wine and water and some spices. To be more healthy and light I backed the cakes in the oven with a little sprinkle of olive oil. It was great! These cakes are my husband's new favorites! Thanks for the recipe and for all the reviews!

just yum, even my grandfather who near band catfish loved it and my boyfriend who shuns all sammon pattys and crab cakes. ^__^ enjoy

Very good.. too many crackers though. I will make again.

I made this out of Basa fish I needed to get rid of. Yummy, I had no leftovers I let the fish soak in a tablespoon of lemon juice after mashing, then added lemon and herb seasoning. Already have a request to make again! thx

My mom makes a similar recipe using Salmon, so I thought I would try these. I like them more than Salmon or Crab Cakes. I broiled the fish first, and then made them into catfish cakes. I didn't use as much oil either. They were terrific!

Like others, I baked the fish first. Also used lite mayo instead of Miracle Whip, and added a little lemon pepper. Turned out great - very flavorful. Thanks, Bobbie!

Great idea! I seasoned and baked 1 1/2 lbs. of catfish (instead of boiling) to enhance the flavor. The catfish was very moist/watery so drain it well. I modified the recipe a bit by adding: 1 cup of crushed Ritz crackers, 2 tbsp. of mayo, 1 tsp. mustard, 1 tsp. Old Bay, 1 tbsp. parsley, 1 egg, lemon/salt/pepper to taste. I coated the cakes with panko for extra crunch (I also think this helped hold the cakes together). I used just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and they still came out crisp and delicious. Next time I'll try a different fish with a more neutral flavor so they taste more like faux crab cakes.

I thought these were great. Followed some of the tips that were given by other reviewers. My wife liked them but my son would not try them since he is not an onion fan.

Excellent. I usually make salmon cakes and my husband liked these even better. I used Duke's light mayo (heaping tbsp) and used only 1/4 c. oil. You could probably even use less oil than that. I went with the 1.5 sleeves of Ritz and that was perfect. I cooked my fish in the oven as mentioned in an earlier review with old bay and olive oil. I later also added about 1 tbsp of old bay to my batter. Everyone raved about them. Went great with Parmesean Edammame!

Very easy & fast. Kids loved them, I loved them. Inexpensive, yet they taste very expensive. I didn't have Miracle Whip, so I used Ranch dressing and it worked great. I served them with Bragg's Amino Acids sauce. Yum! I will make these for my next potluck event - taste great at room temp.

The recipe was a hit! It was quick and easy and delicioius. I baked the fish (actually used white sole fillet) at 450 degrees for 10 minutes to retain the taste. Then flaked it and mixed in all the ingredients with it. I did coat the cakes with flour to make it more crispy. I would also add a little salt and pepper to give it more flavor. Otherwise, it was great!

This recipe is awsome!!! We love catfish and always looking for new ways to fix it. My Mother-In-Law who does not like fish loved it

I read so many reiews about these cakes I just had to try it. I prepared with 1 1/2 lbs. of catfish fillets and baked them in the oven 1st. Added my own special seasonings as if I were going to eat them that way. I cannot imagine boiling the fish with absolutely no seasonings-- it would have tasted bland for my taste. I used only half of a medium sized onion. I flaked most of the fish instead of mashing. I used 2 tbsp. of Hellmann's mayo which is my preference and lastly I used 1 1/2 cups of Keeblers crackers. This recipe is a keeper-- Absolutely delicious!!! The taste truly isn't that different from crab cakes.

Was very easy to make. Would use a little less crackers. But was very good Thanks for Sharing

Extremely tasty!

These were great! And so quick and easy too! I took the advice some other reviewers had given and used a little more fish than called for and I also only used about 1/4 cup of oil. My family loved them!

I had to rate this recipe because it is hands down one of my faves. I use Keebler Onion flavored crackers instead of the plain buttery ones the recipe calls for. I just can't compliment this recipe enough! Delicious. So much better than crab cakes!
