Fish Chop (Cutlet) is a popular non-veg fast food item and can be prepared in various ways. Some of them "dilutes" the fish with stuffing material which is necessary given the smell of a fish. Some of the recipes actually "sprinkles" fish in the main content before frying. I really do not like those recipes as you can hardly taste real fish. Now this recipe is a mixture of both types mentioned above. You can vary the content of the stuffing and the fish to the perfect balance you need. This is primarily based on personal preference. Since I am staying in the USA now, the only fish available readily are sea fish like salmon and catfish. The below recipe has been tried and tested with Salmon. But you can use any other boneless fish as well. Now onto the Fish Chop recipe.
