Sand Bucket Dip Recipes

SAND DABS

Steps:

• Coat the fillets on both sides with seasoned cracker meal. Heat about 4 to 6 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large shallow pan. Add sand dabs and fry over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove the filets with a spatula and place on a warmed serving platter.
• Use a little of the pan juices to pour over the fish. Keep them hot. Fry the remaining fillets, adding more oil if needed. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, and garnish with the parsley. Add lemon wedges and serve immediately.

SAND BUCKET DIP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted. Add a pinch of salt and toss to combine. Let cool completely.
• Combine the sour cream, chives, onion powder, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir well until combined.
• Fill a tall sand bucket with ice about three-quarters of the way to the top. Transfer the sour cream mixture to a bowl that will fit just inside the top of the sand bucket. Cover the sour cream dip with the toasted panko. Serve with a plastic shovel and lots of star-shaped crackers.
