Tried something different last week that turned out better than expected. We have caught some over 1 pound pompano off the pier and I only headed and gutted them in anticpation of baking them in the oven. Last week I decided to make pompano patties - sort of like crab cakes / salmon patties.
First, get a good sized pompano out of the freezer.
I boiled the fish first and then picked it.
Meat:
Bones, skin, and junk:
Mixed all of the good meat with bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1/2 medium onion and a little Old Bay. No picture of the mixture, so just use your imagination.
Pattied up into 4 patties and browned up in some butter.
They turned out much better that I imagined. My husband thought they were fantastic. Good thing we have more of those guys in the freezer.

used to get them in the surf occasionally and i love them. meat is so sweet, and they're so easy to pick off the bone when cooked whole. |

Cherry Grove. We actually have caught most of the big ones while jigging for blues and spanish. The seem to get mesmerized by the gold hooks in the mackeral trees.

Wev'e only caught them in the surf at Pensacola Beach (where Jack grew up) using sandfleas. I call them "butter fish." They're super yummy!

| I do that with wahoo. This is a very under rated way of doing fish, especially when you get bored of grilled, fried, etc. |

Had this again yesterday for Sunday Lunch, using the last of what we had in the freezer, so I'm so glad the pompano are back!

I've tried this with whiting and spanish. Both worked good.
I'd rather fish than eat.
