How to Make Baccalitos Fish Fritters
- In a large bowl, gently flake 1 pound of fresh cod into small, bite-sized pieces.
- 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.
- Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot (a pinch of flour should sizzle immediately), drop spoonfuls of the fish mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 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.
