Omul is a member of the salmon family, characterized by its white flesh and lack of a strong fishy odor. This fish is quite selective, choosing only clean, well-oxygenated waters for breeding and habitation. This trait ensures the absence of harmful chemicals and heavy metals in its flesh. The taste is somewhat reminiscent of mackerel (though the species is unrelated), but without the excessive fish fat and overpowering aroma.
Nerka (sockeye salmon) is known for its more flavorful meat compared to other salmon species, with a taste that faintly resembles crab due to its diet of crustaceans during the marine phase.
Nerka-Omul Patties are an excellent choice for those who dislike strong fish odors but want to enjoy the exquisite flavor and tenderness of the meat.
Cooking Instructions: Thaw, then fry in preheated oil on both sides until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
Preparation: Only fillets are used for the patties, with no addition of ground bones, skin, offal, fins, or heads.
