Step 1
1. To prepare the fish filling, wash the fish and remove bones and skin. Cut it into small pieces and pass through a meat grinder. Peel the onion and, if desired, chop or also pass through the meat grinder. Add egg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly. If desired, you can also add fish spices and chopped herbs to the mixture.
