👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Rinse the salt cod under cold water. Place it in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, changing the water a few times to remove excess salt. Drain and flake the cod, removing any bones or skin. Chop the flaked cod finely.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add water, whisking until you have a smooth, thick batter, similar to pancake batter. Do not make it too thin.

3. 3

   Add the finely chopped salt cod, chopped onion, bell pepper, minced scotch bonnet pepper, scallions, parsley, and black pepper to the batter. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

4. 4

   Heat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle immediately.

5. 5

   Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, about 1-2 tablespoons per fritter. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches.

6. 6

   Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Serve the saltfish fritters hot, as an appetizer or snack. They are often served with a dipping sauce or a side of fried plantains.
