Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
If you have a whole carp carcass in front of you, clean it of scales and gut it.

Step 2

Step 2
Then you need to cut off the head, tail, ridge and fins with scissors or a sharp knife. The carcass is washed well in water. After separating the fillet, select small bones and cut the carp into pieces that will be convenient to grind.

Step 3

Step 3
To make the cutlets juicy and tender, you need to add a white loaf or roll to the minced meat, before briefly soaking it in water (so that it covers the top).

Step 4

Step 4
Onions can be ground with carp meat. But if you chop it finely, then the texture of the cutlets will be more interesting, and the minced meat will not be so liquid.

Step 5

Step 5
The fish is milled in a convenient way. As a rule, a meat grinder is used. Well-pressed bread, chopped onions and any greens are added to the minced meat (you can take dried, fresh, or a mixture of them). The second part of the minced meat can be made without greens. Then everything is rubbed together by hand.

Step 6

Step 6
After mixing the minced meat until smooth, add salt to taste and season with spices. After kneading again, we form balls.

Step 7

Step 7
After pouring oil into a hot frying pan, dip the pieces in breading (or flour) before frying.

Step 8

Step 8
One part of the cutlets can be fried in a large amount of heated oil, turning them until they are fried. If you want them to become juicier, steam them for a few minutes under the lid. And the second part of the minced meat can be steamed (in a slow cooker, steamer, etc.) — healthy and no less tasty!
