Want to give this recipe a try? Here is the step-by-step fish cakes recipe shared by our lovely sister, Shaniqua!
What You Need:
1 onion, diced
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 small hot pepper, finely diced
chopped parsley, thyme and marjoram
1 pound boneless, skinless salt cod
1 cup water
Steps:
To prepare the salted cod, boil in 6 cups of water for 4 minutes. Throw off the water and boil a second time for 3 minutes. Flake the fish with a fork.
In a bowl, combine the flaked fish with the other ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms. You can add more water or more flour to get the desired consistency.
Drop the batter by teaspoonful into the oil over medium heat, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to turn the heat down to medium-low if the fish cakes are burning before being fully cooked.
Drain on paper towels.
Fish cakes are best eaten hot! They are usually more delicious when dipped in traditional Barbados pepper sauce, or you can use a combination of mayonnaise, ketchup and peppers for a similar result.
