Ingredient preparation
If you have a little fish and meat fillet, not enough for meatballs, combine these two products and create a dish called Friendship. Here's what you need for him:
- 250 g of fish fillet or 350-400 g of fish;
- 250 g of pork with fat;
- 1 onion;
- 1 medium-sized raw potato;
- 1 raw egg;
- pepper, salt to taste;
- vegetable oil;
- breadcrumbs.
It’s great if in your refrigerator there is a fillet of pink salmon, pollock, hoki or other types of low-fat fish, and pork with fat, then meat and fish cutlets will turn out to be notable. It is important that the carcass of the fish consist of dense pulp, otherwise the meatballs can spread.
Rinse the pork, cut into cubes. If you do not have an electric meat grinder or problem meat (with a small proportion of veins, films), place the sliced pieces in a bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. They freeze a little, then it will be easier to twist them.
Fish cutting
Wash the fish, remove excess moisture by slightly squeezing the fillet. If you have a whole carcass, clean the scales. To prevent it from scattering in all directions, place the fish in a transparent bag and remove the scales with a knife. After that, make a cut with scissors on the abdomen, remove the insides, rinse this part of the carcass.
Remove the fish bones. To do this, carefully make a cut with a sharp knife along the ridge, first move one half of the back from it, then the second. Take out the ridge along with the large costal bones. If there are small bones, cut two halves of the resulting fillet into pieces, remove them manually.
