Cooking method

Cooking time: 50 min

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make fish patties with semolina? Gather your ingredients. You can make these with almost any fish — I used frozen whole notothenia. It's fairly bony, but that's no problem for patties. Use a stale bread roll.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Thaw the fish, scale it, and trim off the fins. Leaving it slightly frozen makes it easier to clean. Separate the flesh from the bones and cut it into pieces.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Cut the onion into 4 pieces and tear the white bread or roll into chunks.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Run the fish, onion, and white bread through a meat grinder together. Use the finest grinding plate so the small bones get fully ground up.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Add salt, spices, sour cream, and the egg to the ground fish.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Knead the mixture well until smooth.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Stir the semolina into the ground fish.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Mix everything thoroughly once more.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Scoop up the mixture with a tablespoon and roll it into balls. Set the fish balls on a large plate of breadcrumbs.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Coat each ball generously in the breadcrumbs.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Shape the breaded balls into oblong patties.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Lay the patties into hot oil in a skillet. Fry over high heat until golden on the first side, just about 2 minutes.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Flip the patties over and turn the heat down low.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Cover the skillet with a lid.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15

    Cook the fish patties covered for another 10 minutes over low heat.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

    Take the finished patties off the heat.

    Step 17

    Serve the fish patties hot. Enjoy!

  • Keep in mind that properly thawing your ingredients has a big impact on the quality and flavor of the finished dish. To avoid mistakes and pick the best method, read our article on defrosting.
  • How do you fillet a whole fish? Remove the tail, head, and fins. Cut along the spine down to the backbone, turn the fish on its side, and slide a sharp knife along the backbone to release the flesh. Flip it over and cut the fillet from the other side. Clean out the inside, removing the black membrane — it's bitter and will spoil the flavor. Rinse, and be sure to pat it dry well.
  • Any oil is only good up to a certain point — the smoke point, where it begins to burn and forms toxic compounds, including carcinogens. To learn how to pick the right frying temperature and the best oil for frying (and which to skip entirely), read here.
