Ingredients

• 500 grams cod fillet
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 unit large egg
• 120 milliliters milk
• 1 unit garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Remove any skin or bones from the cod fillet and cut it into small chunks.

Step 2

Place the cod pieces into a food processor and pulse until finely minced. Alternatively, chop the cod very finely with a knife.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Add the minced cod, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and egg to the bowl. Mix everything well.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously, until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick but spoonable.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking (approximately 180°C or 350°F).

Step 7

Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil stays at an even temperature between batches.

Step 10

Serve the cod fish fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
