Submitted by Bergy

"These are delicious and versatile. These are traditional in the Danish Mock Turtle soup. Serve them as an appetizer with a dip or make it as a fish loaf. Any way it is good In one of the pictures you will see that I made a sauce and fried them - these went over really well. They are wonderful in a curry sauce"

directions

Mix seasoning with the minced fish and the flour.
Beat the mixture very well and integrate the butter.
Add eggs one at a time.
Gradually add the liquid.
If the mixture curdles stand the bowl in hot water and whisk until it is smooth again.
Check your seasoning.
Shape the farce into round balls using 2 spoons dipped in hot water.
Bring about 2 pints of salted water to a boil.
Cook one ball to check the consistency.
Add more egg if the ball is too soft, or cream if it is too stiff.
If the ball is right cook all the balls, they only take a minute to cook and float when done.
Serve as an appetizer, use in the Danish mock turtle soup or make it in a ring shaped mold and serve it with a sauce as your main course.

Well, hon, I found out I didn't like "boiled" fish balls, so decided to give them a little fry-up! Tasty little buggers, now, Bergy. I sure didn't get the shapes right, but it was my first time, after all...heehee! Made for KcK's Forum Tag Game.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
