ReceptnaptárFish cakes with rye bread (northern Russian style)
Fish cakes in northern Russian cooking are made from many kinds of fish, with rye bread binding the juices and flavour. The bread keeps the mixture soft and juicy, and the crumbs give a crisp crust. It is a cheap, simple dish that is still a favourite family supper.
