  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add to fish with water and eggs. Mix flour and baking soda together and add to fish mixture; stir in black pepper and cayenne.

  • Measure out scoops of mixture with a tablespoon. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium to low heat. Fry fritters in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, flattening out with the back of a spoon.

Cook's Note:

You can use 1 scallion, chopped, instead of an onion, and paprika or hot sauce instead of cayenne.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
