Cod meatballs
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Cod meatballs are very easy to prepare. To avoid difficulties when filleting the fish, slightly thaw it before removing the bones. To prevent the meatballs from losing their shape during cooking, be sure to freeze them briefly beforehand. This dish is also convenient because you can prepare it in advance. Serve hot.
