Additional ingredients can be used to make the minced meat denser.

Minced fish does not contain much protein, which gives stickiness, so the glue is most often bread, which must first be soaked in water or milk.

For 400 g of minced meat you should take 100 g of bread crumb.

It is acceptable to use breadcrumbs and semolina, but it is important not to overdo it so as not to make the dish too dry.
