Pollock fish paste







Fisherman brought back pollock, again no sight of mackerel, what a bad sign. What to do with 1.5kg of pollock fillets? Turn to fish balls to keep in freezer.

 I use a simple recipe to get maximum flavour, not after the bouncy texture of traditional HK fish balls that uses a lot of flour. I notice with more flour in fish paste, there is less real fish flavour. 

1.5kg fillet
450ml coconut milk
salt, white pepper, chilli powder 

Use a machine to blend into puree, it will turn very sticky. With a pot of gently simmering water, make fish balls by squeezing through the thumb and first finger, cook until floating. 

I kept some fish paste behind to make fish cake and stuffed veg.
