Jamaican Saltfish Fritters (Stamp and Go)

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.

Step: 1

Soak the cod in cold water overnight to rehydrate it and remove excess salt (or see Cook’s Note).

Step: 2

Remove any bones and skin. Flake and shred the fish into small pieces and set aside.

Step: 3

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.

Step: 4

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.
