Cod Fritters The Puerto Rican Way
Bacalaítos are an immensely popular staple in Puerto Rico. All over the island you’ll find these cod fritters sold from small roadside kiosks, and any street fair there will usually feature several stands of crispy Bacalaítos.
With the help of GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning and some garlic, our Bacalaítos recipe yields traditional Puerto Rican cod fritters, prepared as they have been for generations.

Being single and although I rarely fry food, I tried this recipe with one thawed cod fillet and cut the measurements of the batter into a quarter of each. I rinsed the fillet, cut into a few large pieces & boiled according to recipe. Instead of shredding, I just flaked the fish pieces apart after they quickly cooled. The batter was thick and fried well. The flavor was a little bland but I will definitely try the recipe again by doubling the adobo and kicking up the spices next time. I may even try this batter on a whole fillet as I can't seem to find a good fish fry batter. Thanks Goya!
