Step 1
1. First, prepare the fish mince. I usually use hake or pollock (fillet). A friend of mine uses cod fillet, which is much more expensive but tastier. Anyway, grind the fish into mince.

3. At the very end, sprinkle semolina into the meat mixture and mix thoroughly. It's better to do this by hand to properly "work" the meat. The mixture should have a uniform consistency. It's better not to puree the zucchini in a blender, as grated zucchini tastes better in the finished patties.
