Salt Fish Fritters (Accra)

SALT FISH FRITTERS (ACCRA)

INGREDIENTS:

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

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Break the salt fish into pieces and place in a saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Drain and rinse under cool water. If you want it less salty, repeat the boiling process a few more times. Remove any bones and skin, if there are any. Shred the fish into small pieces and set aside in a medium bowl.
  3. Add the tomato, and green onion to the fish.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder and pepper; stir into the salt fish. Pour in the water and stir just until everything is blended.
  5. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, drop rounded spoonfuls of batter into the skillet. Fry on each side until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
