Grass Carp Fish Patties

Make juicy fish patties in a crisp breadcrumb coating. Grass carp patties are full of rich flavor. The fish isn't bland — it's fairly fatty — so dishes made from it stand on their own. What's notable is that grass carp doesn't have the off-putting muddy smell of many other freshwater fish, so the patties come out with a clean, full fish flavor. Onion adds extra juiciness. If you'd rather not fry, you can bake these on a silicone mat in the oven — they turn out just as tasty.

  • There's no end to what you can make from fish — soups, salads, appetizers, and main dishes. Fish patties are one of them: fragrant, juicy, and tender, with a crisp crust. Grass carp is perfect for the job. Its flesh is white and free of any muddy river smell. Run the fish through a meat grinder so the mixture is as smooth as possible — these patties are safe to serve to kids, too. 1. To make the patties, first prep the fish: clean it and remove the bones. Rinse the grass carp under running water and scale it. Cut off the head, fins, and tail. Slit the belly and clean out the insides. 2. Since this fish doesn't have a lot of small bones, you just need to remove the backbone and rib bones. Cut the fillet into rough pieces and run it through a meat grinder. 3. Peel the onion and grind it right after the fish (a blender works too). 4. Put the white bread (crusts removed) in a bowl and pour the milk over it. Let it soak for 5 minutes, then squeeze it out and add it to the fish. 5. Crack in the egg, season with salt and pepper, and mix the mixture thoroughly until smooth. With damp hands, shape the patties. 6. Put the breadcrumbs on a plate and coat each patty. 7. Pour refined vegetable oil into a skillet and fry the patties on both sides until a nice golden crust forms. Serve with a side dish or a sauce. Enjoy!
