Add a photoIn the restaurant we cut this on an electric slicer. It is faster and more accurate than by hand.
It is also dangerous if the fish is frozen to hard or if it is not frozen at all and is to soft.
“Trick is to have it semi frozen when cutting home cooks I do not suggest the machine method use the method stated above it is safer and produces good results if done with care and not working to roughly with the slices of fish once pounded thin to avoid tears and holes that will make for an amateurish braciole and also allow for the filling to “OOZE” out when cooking…defeating the whole filling process.”
* Tip – “Do not let the machine run and run with the ingredients, the machine will get way to hot. Pulse always on and off…pulse in the eggs an stop…a little chunky or not completely smooth is better than heating it up to much and making a very unattractive paste or gooey mixture!”
