Jamaican Saltfish Fritters

Seafood

Jamaican fritters are a popular appetizer in Jamaica. Just stamp them out in the kitchen, take some for the road and go! Salt cod can be prepared the day before for a quicker cook time. These are also good served with a spicy dipping sauce.

Ingredients

6 ounces dried salted cod fish
cold water, to cover
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large tomato, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
½ cup water
vegetable oil for frying

Description

Soak cod in cold water to rehydrate it and remove excess salt, 8 hours to overnight.
Remove bones and skin from fish. Flake and shred fish into small pieces; set aside.
Sift flour, pepper, and baking powder into a large bowl. Add tomatoes, green onions, and flaked cod. Pour in 1/2 cup water; stir until well blended.
Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter into the skillet; fry in hot oil until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
