Directions

Step 1

Step 4

4. Add chopped garlic, parsley, and green onion to the flaked cod.

Step 5

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, all-purpose flour, baking powder, water, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

6. Pour the batter over the cod mixture and gently fold together until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

7. In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

Step 8

8. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 9

9. Fry the fritters in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10
