Pike cutlets with cottage cheese
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Cooking is all about experimentation, and this applies to absolutely any dish. There are many ways to prepare fish patties, and pike patties are considered one of the tastiest. The fish is lean and delicious, while the cottage cheese adds juiciness. You can serve these patties with sauce, fresh vegetables, or any side dish you prefer. I recommend trying this pike patty recipe—once you've tasted them, they'll become a frequent guest at your table. Serve hot.

Step 2
Clean the pike, remove the innards, cut off the head, tail, and trim the fins. Rinse and remove the backbone along with the large adjacent bones; we only need the fillet. Pass the prepared fillet twice through a meat grinder to thoroughly grind all the small bones. I don't remove the skin—I grind the mince together with it. Next, finely chop one onion head. Transfer the minced meat to a deep bowl.
