Method

  1. 1 Cut the fish fillets into thin slices 5 mm thick, then gently pound them to make the slices wider and more pliable.
  2. 2 Chop the shrimp coarsely and mix with minced pork, dill, and pepper until the mixture forms a sticky paste.
  3. 3 Spread the filling in a thin strip over the fish slice, then roll it tightly from the narrow end.
  4. 4 The filling needs to be spread thinly and evenly to be rolled tightly; if the filling is too thick, the roll will fall apart when fried.
  5. 5 Let the rolls chill for 30 minutes, then roll them in flour, dip them in egg, and coat them in breadcrumbs.
  6. 6 Deep-fry at 175 degrees for 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then slice and serve with mayonnaise.
