Pickle juice tuna:

Cut about 1 lb of tuna into 1" thick pieces or so. Marinate each side 1-2 hours in dill pickle juice.
Remove from marinade and pat dry.
Mix 2 heaping tsp of mayo with 1 heaping tsp of tajine powder. Brush on all sides of the tuna. This adds some flavor and also keeps it from sticking to the grill.
Grill to desired doneness. Brush more mayo mix on as cooking if desired for more flavor.

Should work for other species of fish too. Same recipe works great on chicken. Juice from pickled Spanish olives works great on chicken, I have not tried on fish yet. Juice from pickled jalapenos or pepperoncini peppers should work too if you like heat.

Been making fish cakes recently as I try to eat my way through the whitefish in my freezer from an inshore fishing trip a month or so ago.

Pretty simple recipe. Steam the filets for 5-6 minutes until opaque and the fish flakes easily. Add to bowl with a couple tablespoons of breadcrumbs (I prefer Japanese panko), mayo, salt, pepper, and whatever else you feel like adding. I sometimes do Old Bay, or diced bell peppers. I don’t really use a measurement on the mayo, but use enough to help everything stick together.

For 6-8 ounces of fish I’d guess it’s 4 tablespoons of mayo.

Form cakes/patties, and refrigerate to get them to firm up. I’ll cook a few at a time in a light layer of oil in a pan so I have them ready for the week.

Not a crazy recipe by any means but perhaps an idea for something a little different with your catch.

Sounds a bit like salmon patties which I loved growing up and still like. I wonder if it would work for carp? Carp has very fine intermuscular bones so you want to flake the meat off the bones anyhow. I have flaked the meat off the bones and then stir fried it with lots of spices and used it for fish tacos.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. If you can taco it, if you can flake it… you can cake it
