Codfish Fritters

Codfish Fritters have basic ingredients such as egg, flour, milk, oil and of course the codfish but the herbs and spices tend to vary.  Some recipes call for 1 chopped Scotch Bonnet and another recipe may use a table spoon of hot sauce.  There is a lot of room for creative expression. 

  • 1 lb. Codfish, cooked, shredded
    and washed with lime and water
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tbsp favorite cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped chives and thyme.
  • 1 tsp. finely chopped onions and garlic
  • 1 lb. flour
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1/2 liter milk
  • 1 medium frying pan, with vegetable oil for frying

In mixing bowel, combine all the above dry ingredients. Slowly add eggs, and milk.   Form into 1 inch balls, carefully spoon into the hot oil for frying. When golden brown, remove and drain off well.  Serves 4 to 6 people.
