Fish cutlets without a meat grinder: how to cook

For traditional meat cutlets, it is best to choose minced meat prepared by yourself, because this way you can be sure of the quality of all its components. But if you don't have the necessary device or time to grind whole pieces of pork or chicken, you can use fish. Its meat is very easy to separate from the skin and chop with a knife.

The idea of making delicious fish cakes without a meat grinder was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Polina (polli_cooking).
