This recipe reheats very well the next day. If for some strange reason Ritz crackers aren’t available (and I can’t imagine what scenario that could be), any “buttery” cracker will work. A skillet could be used too since it’s a quick cook and the oven temperature is not that high. I suggest using a 13×9 bake dish, but any casserole dish will work. Using a fork to check for doneness is the best way with cooking any fish, especially white fish. If cod is not available, or too expensive, or not in season, any lean white fish may be substituted. Thinner filets of fish will cook faster thicker will take a little longer. While finding Ritz crackers should not be a problem, any buttery cracker (such as Town House), can serve as a substitute. Make your Ritz cracker topping and top the fish.If you can’t get cod, other mild, white fish work for this recipe too. The steps for this recipe are thusly and are quite simple:
All parts of the filets are YUMMY good, perfectly moist, and amazing altogether in every bite under the buttery bed of crackers. Well, the cracker topping is the great equalizer. See, if we just bake or broil our cod or whatever super lean white fish we are cooking, we run the risk of cooking it dry or overcooking thinner parts while we get the thicker parts cooked through. Ritz crackers are easy to find, cheap, and work so well because of how they soak up the butter and bake into this magically delicious blanket of yumminess on the fish.Īnd not only is this mix so tasty on its own that I could literally sit there with a spoon and eat it, but it also serves to protect the fish while baking. Never polluck… my Grandmother, “That’s a chowdah fish” and she made us throw it back when we caught it fishing.īaking fish with a crumbly cracker topping is the traditional New England way to do it, and you will find it in most seafood restaurants up there. The fish I grew up on were haddock, flounder, and cod. Because most of these states are coastal, seafood was local, fresh, and affordable.
We boated and fished, and ate fish more often than not. These states encompass the northernmost coastline of the United States on the Atlantic Ocean. New England consists of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Why baking fish with a cracker topping is a New England tradition I grew up ordering this at restaurants all the time, and I truly love that it is now a family favorite when I make it at home. We all have those dishes that completely encompass our heritage, our childhood, our memories. Straight from my childhood in New England, this baked fish with Ritz crackers will become a family favorite for you too. Classic Boston Baked Cod recipe with a buttery cracker topping is easy to make, cooks quickly, and is absolutely delicious.
