Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for the cutlets. Choose any fish you like, the main rule being as few bones as possible! I usually buy these varieties: hake, pollock, or notothenia. Thaw the fish completely. Let's get started!

Place the washed fish on a cutting board, belly side down. Using a sharp knife, make a cut along the backbone. Open the fish like a book and remove the spine.

The weight of the clean fish meat is 300 g, so buy a little more at the store; I had 370 g. Peel the onion and garlic, then put them together with the fish fillet into a food processor or use a meat grinder.
