Ingredients

  • 1 kilo (2 lbs) cleaned haddock, wolfish or pike
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon potatoe flour or cornstarch

Clean fish, removing all skin and bones. Grind twice (preferably in meat grinder) with the salt and potatoe flour or cornstarch. Stir in nutmeg and add ice cold milk. With a tablespoon shape large balls about 1 2 in. in diameter. Poach them carefully in fish stock or lightly salted water for 5-10 minutes (depending on size).
