Instructions

1 See preparation instructions above "How to Prepare Saltfish" or see the quick
preparation method below in notes.
2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, flaked codfish, finely
chopped scotch bonnet peppers, scallions, diced bell peppers, diced tomato,
thyme leaves and freshly ground black pepper.
3 Gradually add water, a little at a time while stirring to achieve a thick,
pancake-like batter consistency. The batter should coat the back of a spoon.
4 Heat cooking oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, with
enough oil to submerge the fritters. Test the oil's readiness by dropping a
small amount of batter into it. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil
is hot enough.
5 Using a spoon or 1/4 measuring cup, scoop up a portion of the batter and
carefully drop it into the hot oil, forming each fritter to be about the size of
a flattened golf ball.
6 Fry the fritters until they are golden brown on one side (approximately 2-3
minutes), then carefully flip them using a spatula and continue frying until the
other side is golden brown and crispy.
7 Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fritters from the oil, allowing them
to drain on a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.
