Saltfish Fritters are always a treat! My mother used to make them as an easy Friday night dinner. Saltfish fritters, Fried Dumplings and some fried plantains (a veritable fried feast) and we were good to go. I usually make them on Sundays after church as a simple lunch. They’re very easy to make, just make sure to fry them on medium-high heat so that they’re crispy on the outside and don’t soak up much of the oil. To enjoy them at their crispiest (inside they will be soft and delicious), your best to eat them hot … yummy!
