Authentic Jamaican Saltfish Fritters Recipe (Stamp and Go)

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Soak the salt cod in cold water for 8 hours or overnight to rehydrate and remove excess salt, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors.
2. Carefully remove any bones and skin from the fish. Flake and shred the fish into small, manageable pieces, then set aside for later use.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, pepper, and baking powder. Add the chopped tomatoes, green onions, and flaked salt cod. Gradually pour in 1/2 cup of water, stirring until the batter is well combined and smooth.
4. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, ensuring it's hot enough for frying.
5. Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5 minutes per side. Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil and serve hot for the best taste.
