Observations
What is the best way to ensure my codfish fritters are crispy?
To achieve crispy codfish fritters, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying, and avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.
Can I use frozen cod fish for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen cod fish, but make sure to thaw it completely and drain any excess water before cooking to avoid soggy fritters.
What type of potatoes work best for codfish fritters?
Starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds are ideal for codfish fritters as they create a fluffy texture when mashed.
How can I add more flavor to my codfish fritters?
You can enhance the flavor by adding spices like paprika or cayenne pepper, or incorporating other herbs such as dill or chives into the mixture.
Can I bake the codfish fritters instead of frying them?
