Cod fritters are a popular appetizer or snack often found in Mediterranean and Caribbean cuisines. Made by blending fresh or salted codfish with flour, eggs, herbs, and spices, the mixture is shaped into small patties or balls and deep-fried until golden brown. Common seasonings include parsley, garlic, and sometimes chili peppers for a subtle heat. Cod is a lean source of high-quality protein, rich in vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. However, the fritter's deep-fried preparation can contribute to higher calorie and fat content, making portion control important for those monitoring their diet. Pairing cod fritters with a fresh salad or dipping sauces like yogurt-based options can balance the meal nutritionally. Their crispy texture and flavorful taste make them a beloved treat across various cultures.
