Preparation
Step 1
Besides pollock, you can make these cutlets from any white or red fish. Fresh or frozen fish can be used. If using frozen fish, thaw it in the fridge.
Step 2
How to properly fillet a whole fish? Remove the tail, head, and fins. Cut along the backbone to the spine. Remove the skin. With a sharp knife, cut the meat off the backbone. Flip the fish and cut fillet from the other side. Check the fillets for bones.
Step 3
Cut the fish fillet into small pieces. From two fish weighing 650 g (about 1.4 lb), you’ll get just over 300 g (about 10.5 oz) of fillet. You can also use ready-made fillets, fresh or frozen.
Step 4
Chop an onion into small cubes. If you or children dislike onion, you can skip it - the cutlets will still be juicy.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the chopped fish, onion, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
Step 6
Add mayonnaise and mix again thoroughly.
Step 7
Add flour and mix again. Adjust the flour amount depending on the density of the mixture. It should be not too firm, but sticky and hold its shape.
Step 8
Refrigerate the fish mixture for 30 minutes. It will thicken slightly during this time.
Step 9
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, place portions of the mixture into the hot oil, forming small cutlets. I got 8 cutlets. Fry each side for 3-5 minutes until golden brown (exact time depends on heat and thickness).
Step 10
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate and serve immediately. You can serve them with any side dish and sauce. Enjoy!
