Method

  1. Use desalted cod loin, thawed if frozen. Simmer in 1.5 litres of water for 8 to 10 minutes, drain, remove skin and bones, and shred. Leave to cool while preparing the batter.
  2. In a bowl, gradually mix the flour with 300 ml of cold water until smooth. Add the three eggs and beat to make a thick batter.
  3. Fold in the shredded cod, chopped parsley and pepper. Fry a small spoonful and taste before adding the salt because the cod is already salted.
  4. Heat the 500 ml of oil in a 20 cm saucepan to 170 to 175 °C. Shape about 24 fritters with two spoons, spreading each portion thinly. Fry four at a time without overlapping.
  5. Fry for about 3 minutes per side until golden and the batter is cooked in the centre. Allow the oil to return to temperature between the six batches.
  6. Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and serve hot. Divide all the fritters between four portions.

Shopping tip

Use desalted cod loin and shred it after cooking. The time includes frying in six batches.
