Ingredients:
1 large fillet of white fish (cod, haddock, skate etc) skinned and de-boned
1 onion, finely chopped
50g potato starch
150g flour
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
milk
Method:
Chop the fish as finely as you can then mix with the onion in a bowl (it may be best if you use a meat grinder). Add all the dry ingredients and combine well then add the eggs. Finally add just enough milk so that the resultant mixture is solid enough so that it holds together when you shape it into balls.
Spoon about 2 tbsp of the mixture into floured hands and shape into balls. Continue this way until all the mixture has been used up. Heat oil or butter in a deep pan and use this to fry the fish balls until golden brown all over and cooked through.
Typically they are served with boiled potatoes and a green salad.
