Jamaican Saltfish Fritters (Stamp and Go)

By: Monique C. 
"A popular Jamaican appetizer, these fried salted cod cakes can be made in any kitchen. Just stamp them out in the kitchen, take some for the road and go! Codfish can be prepared the day before for a quicker cook time. These are also good served with a spicy dipping sauce."

Original Recipe Yield 24 small fritters
 

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces dried salted cod fish
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Break the cod fish into pieces and place in a saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool water. If you want it less salty, repeat the boiling process a few more times. Remove any bones and skin, if there are any. Shred the fish into small pieces and set aside in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the tomato, and green onion to the cod. Combine the flour, baking powder and pepper; stir into the cod. Pour in the water and stir just until everything is blended.
  3. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, drop rounded spoonfuls of batter into the skillet. Fry on each side until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
