bacalaitos frito (codfish fritters)
(2 ratings)
My Mom would fry up a big batch of Bacalaitos on Saturday afternoons to hold us over until dinner time. With 9 kids this recipe was something she could make quickly...we would stand in line with our napkin ready for Mom to drop our fritter in...Memories! You can find dry salted codfish in Latin, Italian & Greek markets. I prefer boneless for this recipe. You can easily double the recipe & for added color add one packet Sazon with Achiote to batter.
