Basic principles of cooking fish cutlets from pike
A set of products for the preparation of fish cutlets from pike is almost the same as for meat cutlets.
To make fish cakes even more filling and juicy, some raw grated potatoes are added to the stuffing, as well as fresh fat.
As a side dish for pike fishcakes, use fried or boiled potatoes. Greens and fresh vegetables are also good.
It is preferable to take fresh fish for making fish from pike, because fish is a perishable product, and its quality and freshness can affect the taste of the dish. From large pike cutlets turn out juicier than from small fish.
To get minced fish without bones, you need to twist the fish several times through a meat grinder.
If you take a pike fillet, then you can not twist it, but simply chop it up with a knife, so the pike cutlets will be more tender.
