Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/4 pounds (567 grams) skinless walleye or cod filet
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
3 1/2 ounces (100 grams) oyster crackers (about 2 heaping cups)
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Olive oil cooking spray
Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
Lemon wedges, for serving
3/4 cup (172 grams) mayonnaise
1/4 cup (60 grams) finely chopped kosher dill pickles
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons chopped capers in brine
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
Pinch sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the fish into 1/2-inch strips (you should get about 24 to 30 pieces). Season all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
  • Spread the flour in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl with a pinch of salt. Put the crackers in a food processor and pulse to mostly fine crumbs, about the consistency of panko with a few larger crumbs mixed in (you can also crush the crackers in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.) Toss the crumbs in a third shallow bowl with the dried chives, dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of pepper.
  • Dredge the fish, a few pieces at a time, in the flour, then beaten egg letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Roll to coat thoroughly in the crumbs then place each piece on the prepared baking sheet, about an inch apart.
  • Once all of the fish is coated, spray liberally all over with olive oil spray. Bake until the crumbs are crisp and golden and the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
  • Add the mayonnaise, pickles, lemon juice, parsley, capers, dill, and sugar in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend while you make the fish sticks.

Tips:

  • Select fresh or frozen oysters: If using fresh oysters, make sure they are alive and have a briny smell. Frozen oysters should be thawed before cooking.
  • Use a light coating: Too much coating will make the crackers greasy and heavy. A simple mixture of flour, salt, and pepper is all you need.
  • Fry the crackers in hot oil: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying the crackers in batches will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Drain the crackers on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil and make them crispy.

Conclusion:

Fried oyster crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a side dish with soup or salad. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own fried oyster crackers that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
