Fish cutlets
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. Here is a modern take on an old Russian dish — fish telfie. It’s modern because in the past there was neither food wrap nor gelatin. Fish fillets were wrapped in linen cloth and the telfie was poached in a rich broth made from bones, fins, and fish skin. If you love dishes made with poached fish, this recipe will delight you. Look — the appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
