Jamaican Saltfish Fritters (Stamp and Go) image

A popular Jamaican appetizer. Just stamp them out in the kitchen, take some for the road and go! Saltcod can be prepared the day before for a quicker cook time. These are also good served with a spicy dipping sauce.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces dried salted cod fish
cold water, to cover
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ cup water
1 large tomato, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Soak the cod in cold water overnight to rehydrate it and remove excess salt (or see Cook's Note).
  • Remove any bones and skin. Flake and shred the fish into small pieces and set aside.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and pepper into a large bowl. Add the diced tomatoes, green onions, and flaked cod. Pour in 1/2 cup water and stir until everything is blended.
  • 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.
