Pataniscas are a traditional Portuguese dish made primarily from salted codfish, flour, eggs, parsley, and onion, which are combined into a batter and fried into golden, crispy fritters. This iconic recipe hails from Portugal, where it is often served as a snack, appetizer, or part of a main meal. Rich in protein from the codfish and containing flavorful herbs, pataniscas provide a source of essential nutrients. However, as a fried food, they are higher in fat and calories, making moderation important for those watching their intake. To reduce fat content, some modern versions opt for baking instead of frying. Regardless of preparation, pataniscas celebrate the resourceful use of salted cod, a cornerstone of Portuguese cuisine, and offer a delicious way to enjoy a blend of traditional and savory flavors.
