The fish need not be scraped, only cut into pieces when it is to be ground; naturally there must be no bones in it.
For 1 kg of cut-up fish you take about 1/4 kg of either fresh or salted pork. This is cut into pieces and ground together with the fish twice.
About 1/4 litre of skimmed milk and a little pepper, plus salt if the pork is not salty already, are kneaded in, and you form small cakes, which are browned in fat or butter in the frying pan.
When they are really nicely browned, the cakes are lifted off the pan, and it is rinsed with water, which is used later in the sauce.
The sauce is made as follows: A little fat or butter is browned in a pot, into which you put a heaped tablespoon of wheat flour, and you brown it well together and then thin with the stock boiled from heads and bones until the sauce looks suitably thick.
When this comes to a boil, put the cakes in and let them simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes to a quarter of an hour. If the sauce reduces, you must of course thin it with the stock little by little.
If you have a lot of saithe, and it is cheap, you ought to make up a whole lot of such cakes and keep them, packed either in a crock or as preserves. They do not spoil.
