Pretzel-Crusted Crab Cakes
Crushed pretzels add crunchy texture and toasty flavor to these simple and delightful crab cakes. In keeping with the pretzel theme, they’re served with a creamy mustard dipping sauce. To reduce the sodium, rub some of the salt from the pretzels or use unsalted pretzels. Grind them in a blender or food processor for better consistency.

Halibut Caddy Ganty
This eponymous recipe, named after Caddy (Clara Belle) Ganty, used mayonnaise as a way to keep halibut moist and became a standard preparation for white fish all over Alaska and beyond. Different combinations of sour cream, mayonnaise, grated onion, and breadcrumbs were used, but all included a soak in dry white wine. We’ve taken a few liberties with this version, but we’re certain dear Clara Belle would approve. Suggested recipe for your Reserve and Premium Seafood - Shellfish Free Subscriptions.
Super Crispy Fried Fish Fingers with Easy Homemade Tartar Sauce
As the title suggests, these fish fingers are super crispy and super light, thanks to the combination of flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and seltzer. The batter, seasoned with Old Bay, does double duty. It’s used first as a dry coating — the dredge — which helps the batter to stick, then gets mixed with seltzer for a final dunk before frying. Once you make your own tartar sauce you’ll never buy the jarred stuff again. This one is a classic, but feel free to play around. Suggested recipe for your Signature and Seafood Subscriptions.
Sous Vide Salmon with Crispy Crumbs
In French, sous vide means “under vacuum” and refers to a cooking method of vacuum-sealing (removing all of the air) food in a plastic bag and cooking it at a precisely-regulated temperature. Popular among restaurant chefs, especially those who love gadgets, this technique is ideal for home cooks because it takes the mystery out of knowing when your fish is cooked and cooked to your personal preference. Suggested recipe for both Salmon and Premium Salmon Subscriptions.
