I came up with this recipe by trial and error over the years.
Crappie Cakes

About 1 lb of crappie filets
1 stack of saltine crackers, crushed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 large egg
1 tsp salt
Olive oil for frying
1 cup frozen chopped onion and bell pepper
Panko bread crumbs for coating

Boil the filets in enough water to cover and with 2 tbsp liquid crab boil for 5 minutes. Drain water and refrigerate for several hours so the crappie will remain lumpy. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, egg and Old Bay. Sauté the onion a bell pepper in a little olive oil in your frying pan and add to the bowl. Add the crappie filets and add the crushed saltines and fold all together. In a separate bowl, add about 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs. Make your patties about 3 inches wide and 3/4 in thick. Roll them in the Panko and place on a piece of wax paper. I usually make all the patties before I start frying. Fry in about 1/4 inch of olive oil until brown on each side. Larger patties will tear apart when you flip them.
