This dish is quite simple, but at the same time it is suitable for both everyday and festive tables. It is best to cook minced meat for cutlets yourself. Even if you purchase a convenience food, keep in mind that it may contain nutritional supplements.
Try to use fresh, chilled fish. Pay attention to the color of the pollock gills: red gills indicate that the fish is fresh. Dark gills indicate that the fish is old. The color of the eyes should be transparent, and the scales should fit snugly to the body. Fresh fish should have a pleasant marine flavor.

- onions - 1 pc.;

- sugar - 1 tsp;
- pepper, salt, fish spices - to taste;
- bread crumbs.
Peel the chilled pollock, then remove the head, tail and fins. If you have purchased a ready-made pollock fillet, then immediately pass it through a meat grinder.
Wash onions, peel, cut into small pieces, and then fry in vegetable oil until transparent. Soak the loaf in milk.
Pass the fish fillet along with the soaked loaf through a meat grinder. Then add the fried onions to the minced meat. You can also break a chicken egg into minced meat, but then the cutlets may not turn out so tender.
