Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, chicken breast, cod fish, onion, and garlic. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. The mixture should be smooth and free of lumps.
3
Add the breadcrumbs to the bowl with the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
4
Using your hands, shape the ham and fish mixture into small balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should end up with around 20-25 balls.
5
Dip each ball into the flour mixture, coating it evenly, then roll it in the breadcrumbs to coat. Place the coated balls onto a plate or tray.
6
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add a few of the coated balls to the pan (do not overcrowd). Fry the Croquetas until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
