Fish & egg blitz - Place fish and egg white in a food processor. Blitz on high until smooth. (⏱️ 30 sec to ⏱️ 1 minute) A stick blender also works but it will take a bit longer.

3
Feta - Remove the blade, then crumble the feta in. Aim for chunks. Mix delicately (so the feta doesn't disintegrate).

Form koftas - Use wet hands so the mixture doesn't stick. Portion the mixture into 10 - 12 (70g / 1/3 cup each), and shape into a 10cm / 4" cylinder. Thread onto skewers then slightly flatten to 1.75cm / 2/3" thick. (Note 3)

Rest - Remove onto a plate and cook the remaining koftas. (Internal temperature of cooked koftas will rise to 55°C/131°F).
