Danish Fish Balls

Bergy's Note:

These are delicious and versatile. These are traditional in the Danish Mock Turtle soup. Serve them as an appetizer with a dip or make it as a fish loaf. Any way it is good In one of the pictures you will see that I made a sauce and fried them - these went over really well. They are wonderful in a curry sauce

Well, hon, I found out I didn't like "boiled" fish balls, so decided to give them a little fry-up! Tasty little buggers, now, Bergy. I sure didn't get the shapes right, but it was my first time, after all...heehee! Made for KcK's Forum Tag Game.
