1. 1
   Clean and cut the fish.
2. 2
   Boil it with a little water and salt for 15 minutes, then set aside.
3. 3
   Wash and blend your seasonings (onions, black pepper, parsley, garlic, tomatoes).
4. 4
   Take the fish again and flake it. Remove the bones, the skin and the heads so as to collect only the flesh.
5. 5
   In a salad bowl, knead the flesh to make sure there are no more bones.
6. 6
   Add your seasonings followed by the 3 eggs, then mix everything until you obtain a fairly smooth paste.
7. 7
   Roll your balls.
8. 8
   Preheat oil in a frying pan or a deep fryer.
9. 9
   Drop them into the hot oil, let them brown and remove them. PS: brown them well if you prefer them crisp. Otherwise, just add a little more lemon juice so they are not too dry.
