Pollock fillet cutlets with mashed potatoes

Cookinero 28 Feb 2025

Pollock is considered a dietary fish. There are many recipes for its preparation: fried fillet, fish soup and, of course, cutlets. Calcium and phosphorus contained in fish strengthen the growing body. If there is no fresh fish, you can take frozen. Pollock meat on the cut should be white, without red spots.
