Polpette di pesce
The fish balls are lovingly formed from a mixture of fine cod fillet, breadcrumbs, fresh herbs and, of course, Parmesan cheese and then deep-fried until golden brown. Served with tasty Parmesan potatoes, for example, the polpette make a delicious main course. Of course, you can also serve them as a wonderful starter or side dish.
