For the preparation of minced fish cutlets, fish that does not have small bones is suitable. It can be sea bass, pike, pike perch, catfish, burbot, chum salmon and cod. The exception is the breeds of sturgeon fish, it is better not to make cutlet mass from them, because the taste of the fish is only getting worse.
For cooking cutlets, you can buy live, chilled and frozen fish. Live fish should not be lethargic, having extraneous growths on the body and disturbed scaly cover. Chilled fish is better not to take. A significant part of such fish is thawed by sellers in the back room. Why overpay if you can defrost any fish at home.
A reliable indicator of good quality fish is dents on the carcass, they appear when fresh fish are put into freezing forms directly on board the vessel.
Therefore, the fish is pressed into one another, and it freezes. If there are such specimens in the store, it means that the carcass has never been thawed, because after defrosting all the dents will disappear.
To prepare minced meat, the spinal and costal bones are first removed from the fish, after which the fillet is cut off from the skin. The resulting fish pulp must be chopped into small pieces and passed through a rare grate in a meat grinder, then combine the minced meat with white bread (remove the crusts from it), previously soaked in cool water or milk.
It is necessary to soak stale bread 30 minutes before mixing it with minced fish; it is not recommended to wring it out. Then season the fish mass with salt, pepper to taste, mix and scroll again in a meat grinder with a fine grate.
Before the second scrolling through a meat grinder, internal fish oil chopped into fairly small cubes, which can be obtained by cutting oily fish, can be added to minced fish. The taste of cutlets will only improve if the minced meat is supplemented with softened butter or lard.
A special taste is given to fish cutlets by another ingredient - mashed potatoes.
To reduce the viscosity of minced fish, you can put cold pulp of boiled fish in it.
Fish cakes will turn out to be of excellent quality only if the recommended ratios of bread, fish fillet and milk (water) are observed. It will take 1 kg of pulp: 300 grams of stale bread, 400 grams of liquid, 15 g of regular salt and 2 g of black pepper.
Bread should be wheat, stale, preferably from flour of the highest or first grade. Milk or water will be needed in an amount that white dry bread can absorb when it is soaked, the presence of liquid will give the fish cakes softness and juiciness.
In addition, butter or lard added to cutlets improves the taste of cutlets. The cutlet mass is formed by hand, then breaded in breadcrumbs.

Cod cutlets are a hearty and nutritious dish that always turns out to be successful. Since this fish is marine, it contains a large amount of useful trace elements and vitamins. Fish patties are quick and easy to prepare, as chopped frozen cod is always on sale, which means it will not be difficult to find it if you want to cook an unusual and new dish.
This dish goes well with any side dish, as it turns out juicy, tender and quite nutritious. To spice up, you can add a little garlic or fresh herbs to the fish meatballs.
The first step is to prepare the main ingredient - fish fillet. It must be completely thawed, skinned and bones removed from the fish, and then washed with meat.
It is important to note that it is better to cook minced meat for cutlets by hand, that is, chop it into small pieces with a knife.
Soak the bread in milk and wait until the pulp swells completely.
Mix cod fillet with finely chopped onion, egg yolk and chopped dill. Also add softened butter. Mix the mass, salt and pepper. Thoroughly knead the minced meat so that it becomes homogeneous.
We transfer the proteins to a deep plate and beat until a stable foam - thanks to this, the minced meat will turn out to be more tender, and the cutlets will be soft. We spread the protein in the mass and mix gently so that it does not settle.
We form round cutlets from minced fish, after which we roll in breadcrumbs or flour. We spread the meatballs in a preheated pan and fry on both sides over medium heat until a crust forms. Then we put the stove on a small gas, cover the pan with a lid and bring the cod fish cakes to readiness. As a result, they will release a small amount of juice, and also become stronger. The meatballs are best served hot while they are fragrant and juicy.
You can serve this dish in any form - hot they go well with any side dish, and cold you can make sandwiches or take them to work.
Cod fillet is completely thawed, washed and passed through a meat grinder. We shift the mass into a plate, add butter and egg. Then pour the dry ingredients - pepper, flour and salt.
Mix the minced meat well - in the end it should turn out thick. If the mass is liquidish, because of which the cutlets cannot keep their shape, you can add a little flour, semolina or starch.
We form small cutlets, roll in breadcrumbs and spread on a baking sheet. It must first be lubricated with oil. It takes 30 minutes to bake cod cutlets at 180 degrees. If you wish, as you cook, you can pour a little water on a baking sheet and stew the meatballs slightly so that they become more juicy and soft.
A dish with cottage cheese turns out to be very tender inside, and also acquires an unusual taste and aroma. It is advisable to take a low-fat and crumbly product.
Defrost the fish fillet and pour over the lemon juice. Put bread in a plate, pour milk and leave to swell. Then put the fish in a meat grinder and grind it until smooth. Also, in a meat grinder, you need to twist the onion (it should be lightly fried in advance until soft) and slightly squeezed bread. We spread the resulting mass in a bowl, add spices, salt, egg and cottage cheese mashed with a fork. We mix the products well.
In a frying pan, heat a little oil and spread the minced cod cutlets with a spoon, then fry them until lightly browned on both sides. You can bring the meatballs to readiness under a closed lid.
Cod and zucchini cutlets are less high-calorie than meat cutlets, but they are in no way inferior to meat cutlets in taste. Zucchini gives the dish tenderness and excellent taste. Having prepared cutlets in the oven, it will be possible to make them as useful as possible (thanks to gentle heat treatment) and low-calorie.
We wash the cod fillet and inspect it - it should not contain bones. After that, finely chop the meat with a knife as finely as possible. Transfer the mass to a plate.
We clean the zucchini and rub it on a grater. We put it in a bowl and wait until the vegetable gives juice. Drain it and spread the mass to the minced fish.
Finely chop the onion and add to the prepared mixture along with the egg, semolina and spices. Lightly salt the minced meat and leave it for 10 minutes so that the semolina swells.
Grease a baking sheet with oil and put small sticky cutlets on it. It is important not to forget to roll them in breadcrumbs in advance, otherwise the meatballs will lose all their juiciness during cooking.
Cooking cod cutlets in the oven should be 30 minutes at 200 degrees.
An excellent cod dish is fish cakes with lard. Their taste and aroma will pleasantly surprise anyone who decides to try meatballs. So that they do not seem too greasy, it is better to serve them to the table immediately after preparation.
First you need to put the fat in the freezer so that it becomes hard and easily rubbed on a grater. After that, we rub the product and transfer it to the thawed minced meat.
Soak the loaf in milk and wait until it swells completely. Then we squeeze the bread and spread it to the rest of the ingredients.
Onion and garlic are also grated and transferred to minced meat. Salt and add spices to the mass, after which we mix it well.
We sculpt standard cutlets from minced meat, roll in breadcrumbs and put them on a hot frying pan. Fry cod fillet cutlets for 15 minutes over medium heat, not forgetting to turn over.
Cod has dense white meat and very few bones, so cooking cutlets from it is a pleasure. They are fluffy, soft, not dry at all. For cooking, it is convenient to take steaks. Of the bones there is only a backbone. It is important to defrost well and let all the water drain, both the one in the notorious “glaze” and the one in the fish itself. And then you can cook according to any of the simple recipes below: fry, bake, steam. In general, cod fish cakes are very, very tasty!
Minced meat turns out to be very tender, ready-made cutlets do not give off a pronounced fishy spirit, which is very important for many. For example, as a child, I didn’t like fish at all precisely for this “aroma”.
Ready-made hot cod cutlets can be served with sour cream sauce with the addition of lemon juice and fresh finely chopped dill.
Minced meat is prepared in the same way as in the recipe above with step by step photos. The difference lies in the method of heat treatment. If in the first case we fried them in a pan, now we will bake them in the oven.
Even more dietary option than the previous one. However, I must say frankly - for all their benefits, the cutlets are somewhat dry. But they are no doubt suitable for those who are on a diet and for baby food.
Serve with light salad and lemon.

Recipes for cooking cod. Cod fish cakesSo, for chopped cod cutlets, we need:
Of course, cod fillet - 350 g
Egg - 2 pcs

We clean the onion and, cutting into small cubes, send it to a heated frying pan. You can fry the vegetable in both butter and olive oil, but if you prefer the latter option, be careful not to add too much of it.
Now we take a piece of loaf and soak it in milk. Of course, you can soak it in water, but the first option will be tastier. By the way, we will use only the soft part of the loaf, but the crust will have to be removed. If you use a whole piece of loaf, then the cutlets will not be so tender.
We mix all the ingredients, that is, fish, loaf, onion and add salt, spices and herbs to them, as well as an egg. Mix everything thoroughly and let stand for at least 25-35 minutes.
Minced meat is ready, you can start frying. Most often, breadcrumbs known to everyone are used as a breading, but we recommend that you replace them with cornmeal. Believe me, it will be very tasty. Cornmeal during the frying process forms a delicate crust and prevents the juice from flowing out of the patty.
The cutlet needs to be fried over medium heat from 2 sides, giving each about 3-5 minutes.
Since cod fillets are not oily, they are often very dry. In this case, lard perfectly complements the main ingredient.
What do we need for this dish?
