๐๐ฏ๐ฒ SALTFISH FRITTERS ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐
Cooked by young cook Remiya ๐ฉ๐พโ๐ณ
Recipe by Daisy Aymer (85), Stoke Newington Ward ๐ต๐พ๐ฏ๐ฒ
More than a snack. This is history, resilience and family tradition. โค๏ธโจ
Ingredients
โข Saltfish (salted cod)
โข Self-raising flour
โข Onion
โข Spring onions (scallions)
โข Scotch bonnet
โข Bell peppers
โข Fresh thyme
โข Black pepper
โข Preferred seasonings
โข Water
โข Vegetable oil (for frying)
Method
1. Soak and boil the saltfish to remove excess salt.
2. Cool, remove any skin and bones, then flake the fish.
3. Mix flour, saltfish, onion, spring onions, thyme, peppers and seasoning.
4. Gradually add water to form a thick batter.
5. Spoon into hot oil and fry until golden and crispy.
6. Drain on kitchen paper and serve warm.
โI would make this with my grandparents and peel the scallions. We would have this on a special Sunday with roast breadfruit.โ โค๏ธ
Saltfish fritters are much more than a tasty Caribbean snack. They represent history, resilience, family traditions and the creativity of Caribbean people who transformed simple ingredients into food enjoyed across generations.
Daisy Aymer, born in Jamaica and came to England in 1962, shared this recipe with 10-year-old Remiya, passing it across generations ๐
Traditionally enjoyed with roast breadfruit or hard dough bread, also served with sweet chilli sauce, mango chutney, pepper sauce or fresh salad.
