Grate three cloves of garlic and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the flaked fish, chopped onion, chopped chili, chopped parsley, and grated garlic.

Add one egg to the mixture.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Eyeball about half a cup of milk and drizzle it over two slices of bread to soak them.

Break the soaked bread into small pieces and add to the mixture.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined, adjusting with more bread if necessary for texture.

Form the mixture into patties of desired size.

Fry one patty first to test the flavor and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Fry the patties in oil until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

Serve the fish frikkedelle warm with butter and a cup of sweet tea.
