To obtain the best possible croquettes use only potatoes with medium starch content; this will give the resulting purée the perfect consistency for blending with the other ingredients.

PREPARATION |
 |
| 1. |
|
Brown the fish filets in a sauté pan with very little oil for 5 minutes. Transfer the mullet to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced smoked swordfish, the potatoes (by passing them through a food-mill), the grated Parmigiano Reggiano, a sprinkling of ground pepper, a little chopped parsley and a pinch of salt. |

Blend ingredients together thoroughly and then form the mixture into walnut-sized balls. |
|
|
| 3. |
|
Roll the balls in the breadcrumbs and fry in plenty of hot oil. Once golden brown in colour, drain excess fat on paper towels. |
