Grandpa Roger’s Fish Fry

As far back as my kids can remember, when Grandpa Roger would visit Rockin’ Rochester, he’d bring fish from his latest fishing adventures and cook them up for the family. This recipe is how he makes his fish.

Fish Fillets (Sun Fish and Crappies are our favorite)
Shore Lunch (Original Recipe Flavor)
Butter
Olive Oil
Electric Fry Pan, or Fry Pan on Stove

Instructions:

Rinse fish and place on paper towel.
Heat oil to 300-325 degrees. Pour enough olive oil so the bottom of the pan is covered with decent layer of oil.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in the heating oil by moving around in pan.
Pour approximately 1/3 of the Shore Lunch seasoning into a gallon size plastic bag.
Place enough fish fillets to fill a pan into the Shore Lunch seasoning and gentle move/shake bag to cover fillets. If you don’t have a gallon bag you can toss in a bowl.
Place fillets into heated oil/butter mixture and fry fish for 5 minutes per side. If smaller fillets you could go closer to 3 minutes.
Place finished fillets on a paper towel covered plate and serve.
For each additional pan of fish you make, add more olive oil and butter.

Salmon Patties

When growing up we had salmon patties, peas and fried potatoes. To this day I cannot eat salmon patties without peas and fried potatoes. They just seem to go together.

1 egg, beaten
Approx. 1 C. bread crumbs or saltine cracker crumbs
Salt and pepper

Mix salmon, egg and crumbs together. Salt and pepper to taste. Form into patties and fry until golden brown on each side.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

Elizabeth and Joshua Clark would never eat tuna until they tried Aunt Jeanette’s. This is also one of Jim Grady’s favorite meals. A peanut butter sandwich is very good with this dish. Dunkerton High School always had peanut butter sandwiches with their tuna noodle.

1 pkg. noodles
1 can tuna, drained
1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can peas, optional
Potato chips

Cook noodles until done. Add tuna, soup and peas. Cut cheese into chunks and put in mixture. Put potato chips on top. Bake at 350º for about an hour, or until cheese is melted. This is a good way to use up old potato chips.
