My Advice to Make the Best Polish Kotlety Rybne
- Use fresh fish: The fresher the fish, the better the kotlety rybne will taste.
- Don’t overmix the ingredients: Overmixing will make the kotlety rybne tough.
- Use a light hand when forming the kotlety rybne: If you press too hard, they will become dense.
- Cook the kotlety rybne over medium heat: If you cook them over high heat, they will burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
