For half a kilo of fish you should use approximately 200 grams of chopped pumpkin pulp.

Instead of pumpkin, you can add carrots to the fish mince. But the first option is preferable.

Other additives

As mentioned above, it is worth adding lard to the base for fish cutlets. 50 grams of this fatty product will be enough for half a kilo of minced meat.

Don't forget about the onion and garlic components, as well as the mixture of two types of bread soaked in plain water - black and white.

All of the above ingredients will prevent the fish cakes from becoming dry and will provide a bright taste.
