Serves 6 – 8 (16 – 20 Fritters)
Ingredients
- ½ lb of Saltfish or boneless
- 3 cups of plain flour
- 4 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 2 stalks of Scallion (Green onion) chopped (optional)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
- 1 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped
- Salt to taste (optional)
- 2 cups of water
- Oil for frying
Directions
- Place the Saltfish in water for a few hours or overnight to get rid of most of the salt (change the water several times) Once the fish is well-soaked, drain the water then remove any bones and skin and shred it into flakes.
- Take a large mixing bowl and sift the flour, black pepper, and baking powder in it.
- Add the Saltfish along with onions, garlic, scallion, tomato, and bonnet peppers.
- Pour in some water while stirring it so as to give it a uniform consistency.
- Heat some oil in a deep pan over medium heat at about 350 degrees and carefully spoon the fish mixture into the pan. Let them fry for around 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Flip to fry from both sides.
- Once done, remove them and place them on paper towels to drain the extra oil and serve them hot.
