Fish Meatballs for Kids

A healthy and delicious dish for your little ones! Fish is great for a child's healthy development, but not every kid likes to eat it. My mom (who's also a beloved grandma) is a cook, and she taught me lots of kitchen tricks. These fish meatballs, for one — kids gobble them right up. I'm sharing the recipe: make them for your kids, they're delicious!

    1. Prepare the fish: cut off the fins and head, remove the innards, rinse under running water, then separate the fillet from the backbone and remove the skin. Put the bones, head, and fins in a saucepan, cover with water, and set it over the heat. Simmer the broth for about 45 minutes, then strain it through a fine sieve.
    1. Put the bread in a bowl, cover it with warm water, let it soak, then squeeze out the excess moisture.
    1. Peel the onion and fry it in vegetable oil until soft, then run it through a meat grinder together with the fish fillet and the bread.
    1. Add the egg to the resulting mixture, season with salt, and mix. Wet your hands with water and shape the mixture into meatballs, dredge them in flour, and place them in a buttered baking dish. Bake the meatballs in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
    1. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. Peel and wash the carrots too, then grate them on a coarse grater. Sauté the vegetables in vegetable oil until soft, then pour in the fish broth, add the sour cream, and season with salt.
    1. When the sauce comes to a boil, pour it over the meatballs and bake for 45 minutes, lowering the temperature to 350°F (180°C).
  • Serve warm, sprinkled with fresh chopped dill.
  • Enjoy — and good health to your kids!
