These fritters are a great "meze" appetizer during Easter Lent. But even more during summer with a glass of ouzo. It's very hard to stop at one. Both young (sorry no ouzo:) and old love this maze. Recipe is from a greek magazine which I translated & picture is my own. I know the fish roe sounds weird to you but I promise you it's worth a try!
