Fish Croquettes
Pour the oil into a large pan. Place over high heat and cook until 180 °C / 350 °F. Using two tablespoons, shape the mixture into Croquettes and gently dip in hot oil. Make sure there's enough space between them to fry and move around. Fry for 4 - 5 minutes, turning occasionally while frying. When they are golden brown and crunchy, transfer them to a paper towel to drain off any excess fat.
