These can run less than $3.00 USD to make depending on the fish you use.
Fish Croquettes
1 15-oz can Salmon or Mackerel, or 2 cans tuna - drained
1 cup cracker crumbs or toasted bread crumbs (buttered is better)
1 med onion small diced or grated
1 egg - beaten
Removed the bones from the salmon/mackerel (if you wish) and beak the pieces up a good bit. Combine all ingredients and form into patties. Pan fry (your choice of butter or oil) until golden and crispy on both sides.
White Sauce
3 Tablespoons Butter
3 Tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
Salt and Ground Black pepper to taste
Make a roux of the butter and flour over med-low heat and cook for a minute (you don't want the flour to brown) ... whisk in the milk, add the S&P, bring to a boil then reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add more milk to adjust thickness if necessary.
Serve the sauce over the croquettes.
Some OPTIONS:
Herbs can be added to the croquetts or the sauce.
You can substitute cayenne pepper for black pepper in the sauce.
Other sauce options: mayo with lemon and/or herbs and/or horseradish, etc.
