Make a Fish Cake
Ingredients
Directions
Take a napkin and quickly shape it to fit the fish.
Sew the napkin neatly with thread, not a pin.
Boil the fish in the coated napkin to prevent it from breaking.
To check if the fish is done, insert a knitting needle through it.
If frying, ensure the fish is dry and the cooking fat is not too high.
Heat should seal in the juices without scorching the skin.
Broiling is the healthiest way to cook fish.
