Saltfish Fritters

Soak codfish in water overnight to remove excess salt.

Use a sharp knife to dice the fish, shred finely, and set aside.

Chop and combine onion, garlic, scallion, hot pepper and tomatoes.

In a skillet using a small amount of oil, saute the chopped vegetables.

Place the codfish in a mixing bowl and add flour and cold water to make a thin batter. Add the sauteed vegetables and the paprika.

Spoon the batter into a skillet that has 1 inch of hot oil, or use a deep fryer. Fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides.

Drain on paper towels and keep in a dish in a warm oven until ready to serve.
