👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Ensure the salted cod is thoroughly desalted by soaking it in cold water for at least 8 hours, changing the water several times. Drain, remove any bones and skin, and flake the fish into small pieces.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

3. 3

   Add the finely chopped onion, bell pepper, scallions, minced garlic, minced scotch bonnet pepper, chopped parsley, and flaked saltfish to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine.

4. 4

   Gradually add water, starting with about half a cup, mixing until you achieve a thick batter consistency that holds its shape but is not too dry. The batter should be thick enough to coat the ingredients without being runny.

5. 5

   Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle immediately.

6. 6

   Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

8. 8

   Serve hot as an appetizer or snack, often with a side of hot sauce or a dipping sauce.
