Ingredients

• 500 grams Cod fillets
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 1 for serving Lemon wedges
• 1 cup Tartar sauce

Directions

Step 1

Begin by poaching the cod fillets. Place the fillets in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat and allow the cod to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until opaque and easily flaked with a fork.

Step 2

Remove the cod from the water and let it cool slightly. Then, use a fork to flake the fish into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix well to incorporate the baking powder evenly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Add the flaked cod, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper into the batter. Gently fold everything together until evenly mixed.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil with a small drop of batter; it should rise to the surface and bubble vigorously.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches for about 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the cod fritters hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
