Ingredients

  • ¾ pound [0.35 kg] fresh codfish (see notes)
  • ⅓ heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium white onion , chopped
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 2 cup oil for frying

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients, except for the oil in the food processor until the fish is chopped into small pieces.

  • Heat oil in a 2 quart pot [2 lt].
  • Carefully place balls made from two tablespoons of the fish mixture (I used an ice cream scoop). Fry until they turn golden brown. Place on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

Traditionally codfish is found salted and dry in the Dominican Republic, for this dish, however, we'll need fresh (or frozen fresh) fish.
