Fish cutlets recipe.
River fish is not only tasty, but also healthy. It is an excellent supplier of easily digestible protein to our body, which will give us strength without overloading the body.
Perhaps the most dietary is pike meat. It contains only 1% fat. The rest of the composition is protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and beneficial microelements. This composition has a general strengthening effect on the entire body, increases the body’s resistance to various diseases. Pike meat is useful for everyone, and especially for people with problems in the cardiovascular, nervous, and digestive systems. Eating pike has virtually no contraindications, except for individual intolerance.
I have already spoken about the benefits of catfish, but I can repeat myself about such a wonderful fish :-) Catfish contains all the amino acids, vitamins, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and fluorine necessary for humans. Thanks to this composition, eating catfish meat helps strengthen the body and restore strength, and will also help us maintain our skin, hair and nails in excellent condition. Catfish has a unique property: just 200 grams of this fish can meet the body’s daily requirement for amino acids. We, as culinary specialists, are also very attracted by the fact that catfish meat contains practically no bones, and this makes it extremely convenient to prepare.
Since these two fish are so healthy and tasty, why don’t we mix their meat and prepare tender, juicy cutlets. I offer you a recipe for making catfish and pike cutlets. Pike meat is quite dry, but the juicy catfish meat will give our cutlets the perfect consistency. Many people do not like the fishy smell, which is why they refuse river fish dishes. But not at this time. Add chopped fresh parsley to the minced meat, which will not only fight off the fishy smell, but also make the cutlets aromatic.

Catfish is a well-known commercial fish that is widely used in cooking. Its white meat is soft and tender, and contains virtually no bones. Catfish is a fatty fish. Meanwhile, its lipids are located mainly in the tail part. That is why fish can be used in dietary nutrition.
However, not all fish lovers like the taste. The fact is that fish has an unpleasant river aroma. You can feel it even if you cook, for example, the odorless cutlets that are presented in our article. After reading it, you can find out how to get rid of unpleasant odor.

How to make minced fish from catfish and get rid of the smell?
Of course, you can buy ready-made fillets for making fish cutlets. But if you get a whole carcass, don’t despair. Catfish can be easily cleaned at home. First, you need to gut the fish, remove the head and gills, and cut off the fins. Then you need to clean the skin of mucus. To do this, rub the fish well with salt until the sticky substance is completely removed. After this, the catfish is washed under running water.
To cut the carcass, you need to run a sharp knife along the ridge and separate the flesh of the fish from the large bones. Now the fillet can be immediately twisted in a meat grinder to make minced meat. But since many people do not like the specific smell of fish, it is recommended to soak the meat. To do this, squeeze lemon juice into a bowl of water or add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar. Soak the catfish in this liquid for half an hour. The second option is soaking in milk. The fish is placed in a bowl with cow product for half an hour. After this, the meat, without washing, is twisted in a meat grinder to then make catfish cutlets. Unscented recipes are below. Let's take a closer look at them.
How to cook catfish cutlets? Unscented recipes
There are two main options for preparing fish cutlets. In the first case, soaked bread in milk or water and squeezed out are added to the minced meat; in the second, semolina is added. at home with a loaf? To do this, you need to soak several slices without the crust in milk. To make the catfish fish cutlets tender, we follow the proportions. The volume of bread should be 30% of the weight of the catfish. For a fillet weighing 500 g, 150 g of squeezed bread crumb will be enough.
In addition, you need to put grated onion and garlic into the minced fish, then salt it and pepper it well. Spices neutralize the specific smell of catfish meat. Lastly, an egg is added to the minced meat, and then it is kneaded and cutlets are formed. They are fried in vegetable oil, after pre-breading in flour. By the way, catfish cutlets with semolina are prepared in a similar way. But instead of bread crumb, cereal is added to the minced meat (2 tablespoons per 0.5 kg of fillet). You can fry the cutlets not only in flour, but also in breadcrumbs to form a crispy crust on them.

Catfish is a unique fish: on the one hand, it has few bones, on the other hand, it is a river fish, feeds on carrion and lives on the bottom. That's why the smell is specific. But, there is one secret. If you want to make flavourless catfish cutlets, add raw potatoes with lemon juice to the minced meat. The potatoes won’t overpower the pleasant fishy taste, but they will relieve the cutlets from the unpleasant smell.

Catfish is ideal for making fish cutlets. It has no small bones and is easy to fillet. The problem with the smell/taste of mud, as is the case with any river fish, is solved by a piece of butter added during the preparation of minced meat. By the way, I personally like to eat such cutlets not only at lunch, but also cold with black bread - I recommend trying it.
Wash the catfish carcass thoroughly and remove the entrails.
Separate fish meat from bones and skin. To do this, make an incision along the back and remove the skin with your hands.
Finely chop the catfish meat using a knife. If you're too lazy to fuss, use a blender or meat grinder, but I personally like this option best.
Place a piece of bread in a bowl and pour in a small amount of milk. Grind a piece of bread and then squeeze it thoroughly.
Place the minced meat in a deep dish and add: soaked bread, egg, finely chopped onion, butter, salt and ground black pepper.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Before frying, roll the cutlets in flour.
Place the fish cutlets one by one in a preheated frying pan with vegetable oil. Fry on one side for 5-7 minutes.
Turn the cutlets over, cover and fry for another 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
Serve the finished cutlets with a simple side dish and pickles. To be honest, I got distracted and my cutlets were slightly burnt :(
Bon appetit!

Then dip thoroughly into the egg on all sides.
The last step is corn flour. Roll the fillet in it and immediately carefully transfer it to a heated frying pan. There should be enough oil to cover the bottom.
