Fish croquettes
Ingredients :
400 g. of bangus (milkfish) fillets, broiled and flaked
5-6 c. of cold mashed potatoes (preferably firm)
1/2 c. of finely chopped onions
1 tbsp. of finely minced garlic
1/2 c. of finely chopped bell pepper
1/2 c. of finely chopped carrots
salt and pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 c. of bread crumbs
3-4 c. of cooking oil for deep frying
How to :
In a bowl, mix together the flaked fish, onion, garlic, bell peppers and carrots. Season with salt and pepper.
Flatten a heaping tablespoonful of mashed potatoes on one hand, place a tablespoonful of the fish-vegetable mixture at the center and cover with another tablespoonful of mashed potatoes. Roll into a ball. Repeat until all the ingredients have been formed into balls.
Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan (a wok is better). Test the temperature by dropping a little beaten egg into the oil. If the egg browns too fast, lower the heat a bit and allow the temperature to drop. If the egg takes too long to brown, allow the temperature of the cooking oil to go up some more.
Roll each ball in egg then roll in bread crumbs, pressing to make the bread crumbs stick to the mashed potatoes. Deep fry in batches (4-6 balls depending on the size of your frying pan), rolling the balls in hot oil for even browning. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper towels.
That’s it.
Serve hot with catsup or sweet chili sauce.

hi sassy! i am going to try this one, hubby loves potatoes and i’m sure he’ll be happy to eat not only just the plain and usual mashed potatoes at home. thanks for your great recipes!
Hello sassy, that is laborious ang process. For my children should ready a bottle of Catsup here they write as KETCHUP.
yah, neri, it’s a welcome change.
relly, i know. i was perspiring like anything by the time i finished cooking. pero, ok lang. i didn’t want the mashed potatoes to just spoil in the fridge.
Croquettes are also Spanish in origin - croquetas. I have seen it as part of the tapas menu. First time I’ve had it was Xmas 2003 when someone we know from Spain made croquetas de jamon : )
I think I saw similar recipes cooked at Mario Battali’s show (Lifestyle Network)
syempre iba lang yung laman, pero egg washed pa rin.
Dina, croquetas de jamon sounds delicious! i wish i’d thought of that when we had all that leftover had after Christmas…
Kats, ayyy… I wish we had Lifestyle Network. I seem to be missing a lot. Alas… well at least we have Discovery Travel & Living.
Suppose we can try making the croquettes like left over turkey or chicken (from Thanksgiving), meatloaf or crabmeat as long as we have the sweet chili sauce (sambal pedas manis from Indonesia) for accompaniment.
hey sassy! ive been getting my recipes from your site..i really learned a lot of great cooking ideas and tips from you. i know it’s almost a year na since i first learned of this blog pero ngayon lang ako nagpost ng comment..:) oh well, i do hope you’ll continue to inspire people with your great recipes.
God bless you and your family!:smile:
Rin, yah, you can! We tried making croquettes with ground beef and even canned sardines and they were good too.
Thanks, eysie.
[...] Today’s lunch for the kids and myself, a fried rice dish made with cold cooked rice, a single pork steak, two pieces of Chinese sausage (longganisang macau), a carrot, canned sweet corn kernels, frozen sweet peas, and an egg. I still have some bottled teriyaki sauce from Alex’s 12th birthday party and I wanted to use it on the pork steaks that my husband bought a few days ago. I was marinating the meat when I decided to use one steak, cut it into small cubes and make some fried rice for lunch. [...]
I have a question is this recipe the same thing as the Pinoy fish ball? coz i desperately want that recipe, im craving for Fish ball. Please email me and send me the recipe if anyone know thanks so much. its luvlinezz_04@hotmail.com
