   Step 8

   After frying the meatballs at a low temperature to set their shape, remove them and then fry them again at a high oil temperature over high heat. When frying them again, use a strainer to hold them in place and dip them in the oil until golden brown. Remove them quickly, otherwise the outside will burn and the inside of the fish meat will become tough and the taste will be worse.
