Cut the fish fillets into smaller pieces for easier processing.

Blend the fish fillets in a food processor in small batches to make a paste.

Add garlic and onion to the first batch of fish and half of the oil, then blend.

Transfer the blended fish mixture to a small bowl and repeat with the second batch, adding the remaining oil, egg whites, salt, and sugar.

Form small balls with the fish mixture, using a little oil on your hands to prevent sticking.

Heat oil in a pan and test if it's hot enough by inserting a skewer; if bubbles form, the oil is ready.

Place the fish balls in the hot oil and cook on medium heat.
