Observations

Gluten-free: a gluten-free alternative is possible. All you need to do is remove the flour from your list of ingredients, and add one egg less too (otherwise your dough will be too runny).

Onions: you can add chopped onions to your dough.

Watch out for the salt! Don't add salt until you've tasted your batter! Cod can still be quite salty.
