Add water to a pot and hard boil 10 medium eggs for about 10 to 15 minutes with a pinch of salt to prevent cracking.

Drain some water from the canned fish and transfer it to a bowl, mashing it to create smaller particles.

Add flour, salt, black pepper, white pepper, Maggi seasoning, and parsley to the mashed fish and mix well.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

After 5 minutes of cooking the fish mixture, transfer it to a working surface to cool.

Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.

Peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells easily.

Divide the fish mixture into 10 portions to match the number of eggs.

Flatten one portion of the fish mixture in your palm, place an egg in the center, and wrap the mixture around the egg, ensuring it is fully coated.

Roll the coated egg in breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Deep fry the coated eggs in medium heat oil until golden brown, ensuring the oil is not too hot to avoid dark coloring.

Transfer the fried eggs to a strainer to drain excess oil and allow to cool slightly before serving.
