Ingredients for Baccalitos Fish Fritters

  • 1 pound fresh cod fillets
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Eggs
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Water
  • Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Baccalitos Fish Fritters

  1. In a large bowl, gently flake 1 pound of fresh cod into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, lightly beaten, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the oil is hot (a pinch of flour should sizzle immediately), drop spoonfuls of the fish mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly.
  6. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (tartar sauce is recommended!).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
