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!).
