I am at a loss as to what to name this dish, is it bakso, or otak-otak, or pempek? Anyway, this deep fried cutlets is made with spanish mackerel and shrimp, processed into paste like consistency, and then blended with all purpose flour, grated garlic, egg, thinly sliced scallions, and seasoned with salt, sugar, and pepper. The blended mixture then shaped into patties, rolled in bread crumbs, and deep fried until golden brown. I am sure you can agree on how delicious this must be, right? But, I am still at a loss as to what to name this, so I just stick with the most unimaginative title for this as can be, deep fried fish and shrimp cutlets, till I can decide on a better name.  Oh, you should try eating this with garlic and chili sweet sauce. If you don’t have that, any chili sauce that is slightly sweet will do, though not as good.
