Cottage Cheese Fish Cakes

To make fish cakes juicy, many hostesses add grated potatoes, semi-cooked rice, bread crumbs or semolina to the mince. Today I suggest to prepare delicious fish cakes with the addition of cottage cheese. Thanks to this ingredient, the cakes turn out particularly gentle and juicy. In the process of cooking they hold the shape perfectly and do not break up in the frying pan. Any kind of sea fish - cod, hake or sole - is suitable for the recipe.
