Pollock fillet cutlets
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Today I want to share with you a delicious recipe for fish patties made from minced pollock fillet. Since I couldn't find ready-made fillet at the store, I bought whole fish, thawed them, and removed the meat from the skin and bones. I added the remaining ingredients according to the list, and ended up with incredibly tender patties! The key is to mix the minced fish very thoroughly—knead it well until it becomes as homogeneous as possible, so the patties hold their shape during frying. If your mince turns out too runny (which sometimes happens when the fish contains a lot of water after thawing), add a couple of tablespoons of flour. It won't affect the taste, but it will help the patties keep a perfect shape! I got 8 large patties. Good luck! Serve the dish warm.
