A useful tips
Mince the horse mackerels roughly, almost dropping the knife blade onto the mackerels without forcing it so that the fish retains its texture. Use the correct amount of potato starch; if too little, the mixture does not hold together, and if too much, it gets soggy and heavy-textured. Also heat the pan thoroughly on low heat before use to prevent burning.
