Has anyone tried this seafood sausage recipe (Food Wishes)?

It looks mostly like a seafood/fish mousse that is formed into a “sausage” and poached, rather than cured (which is fine for my purposes). Is 4 egg whites and a whole egg the usual amount for a total of 16 ounces of fish? There’s also an additional 2 T. dry breadcrumbs to bind.

If you have a trusted recipe you’ve used, please feel free to point me in that direction. I don’t have casings or a sausage stuffer, so part of what appealed about the Food Wishes one is that I have everything in the house already! Thanks!

Looks like “Fiskepudding” (fish pudding) or “Fiskeboller” (fish balls) in Norway, but then in “sausage” shape. The fish paste is very light, mousse-like. To make a sausage shape you could use cling film. Secure both ends and cook in boiling water.

I like Fiskeboller in Norway. These fish balls/pudding are common there. Supermarkets have them fresh, frozen and in cans/tins.

Not hard to make at home. Give it a go.

(I found my photos: Fish balls, cooked in a creamy broth. Same thing, in ball shapes.

The reviews are certainly enthusiastic! For ratios I would look at some quenelles recipes. The one I looked at seems similar. I made quenelles once or twice about a million years ago - they seem unlikely to work but always do, I’ll bet these seafood sausages will too.
