Dip each cutlet into beaten egg, then coat well with breadcrumbs.
- 9
Heat oil over medium heat and deep-fry the cutlets until golden brown and crispy.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Tips
Let the filling cool before shaping so the cutlets hold their shape.
* For extra crispy cutlets, double-coat with egg and breadcrumbs.
* Don’t make the oil too hot, or the outside will brown before the inside is heated.
* You can use canned mackerel, tuna, or salmon instead of fresh fish.
