- While it boils chop up your onions, sweet peppers, scallions, Scotch bonnet, tomatoes, and thyme(take the leaves off the stems).
- Place the shredded saltfish in a bowl and mix all the ingredients until fully combined.
- Add water and flour then season it with the black pepper, adobo, complete seasoning, paprika, browning, and baking powder. Then fold all the ingredients in so that everything is evenly distributed.
- You should have a smooth batter (it shouldn't be too runny nor too thick)
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and pour in the oil and spoon small amounts of the fritter batter into the frying pan. repeat until finished and be sure to never overcrowd the pan.
- The heat should be turned low-medium when you start to cook your fritters and cook each side until golden brown. Fry on sides for at least 4-5 mins on both sides (depending on size)
- Once cooked place each fritter on some paper towel to absorb any extra oil. Then serve with your favorite dip.
