Smoked Fish Cornmeal Fritters

Gather around the grill with this inspirational recipe and grilling ideas for family and friends.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups Flaked Smoked Fish
  • 6 garlic scapes, chopped
  • 1/3 Yellow pepper, minced
  • Small bunch minced chives
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 chipotle, minced
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup corn meal
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup leftover mashed potatoes

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine the flaked fish, garlic scapes, peppers, herbs and chipotle in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, salt and pepper. Whisk together the buttermilk and leftover mashed potatoes, and stir into the dry ingredients just to combine. The batter should be the consistency of a gummy muffin batter.
  3. Add enough batter to fish and veggies to bind the fresh ingredients together. Mix until just combined. Drop by spoonful into a pan of hot vegetable oil (medium) for 2 minutes per side until browned. Serve with chipotle mayo, guacamole, or pico de gallo.
