Helpful Tips

1. Onions in the composition of fish mince makes the taste of meatballs more juicy. In dry varieties of fish, it is better to add more of this ingredient, whereas it is possible to put very slightly in fatty ones.
2. Do not grind the fillets too finely, so it will lose juiciness. When twisting fish through a meat grinder, it is better to use a grate with large holes.
3. To make the dish more gentle, it is sometimes added a little chopped lard or mayonnaise, and some cooks put a chunk of chilled butter inside the cutlet.
4. Make the crust especially crispy in the following way: while the oil in the frying pan warms up, roll the patties in breadcrumbs and let them lie down for a few minutes. Before the direct frying, dip them into biscuits again and then spread them into a frying pan.
