Fish pancakes

Fish pancakes are a delicate and aromatic dish of European cuisine, perfect for a light dinner or a hearty lunch. Their history traces back to traditional fish cutlets made in coastal regions of Europe. The tender hake fillet combined with fragrant herbs, onions, and soft dough made from flour and semolina gives these pancakes an amazing lightness. The crispy golden crust outside and juicy, soft texture inside make them incredibly appetizing. Pancakes can be served with a refreshing sour cream or lemon juice sauce, complemented by greens. They pair perfectly with potato or vegetable side dishes, creating a harmonious and balanced meal. The simplicity of preparation makes them accessible even for those just starting their culinary journey.
