About Fish accras

Fish Accras are a flavorful Caribbean delicacy commonly enjoyed as an appetizer or snack. These crispy fritters are made from salted cod mixed with flour, eggs, herbs, spices, and often scallions or parsley. The batter is seasoned and deep-fried to create a golden exterior and a tender, savory interior. Originating in the French Caribbean, specifically Guadeloupe and Martinique, Fish Accras showcase the rich culinary heritage of the region. While they are delicious and satisfying, their nutritional profile varies based on preparation. Cod is a lean protein and provides essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart and brain health. However, the deep-frying process increases the calorie and fat content, which can be less suitable for those watching their intake. Pairing Accras with fresh vegetables or lighter sides can help balance their indulgent nature while retaining their authentic taste.
