How to Make Carp Fish Balls
After the fish is skinned, it is removed from its bones and ground into minced meat by being machined. After adding some water to the minced fish, add the ingredients and knead well. After the kneading process is completed, it is left to rest for half an hour. The rested mixture is rubbed with the palm of your hand, shaped into meatballs, and fried on the grill or in a pan. The cooked carp fish meatballs are placed on plates and served with radish, pickles and parsley around them.
