Flavourful Caribbean Fish Cake/Accras Recipe.

Flavourful Caribbean Fish Cake/Accras Recipe.
Fish cakes/accras are a common delicacy made with flaked salted cod, a series of herbs and spices turned into a batter and fried to perfection.
In Saint Lucia it is traditionally prepared during Easter time particularly on Good Friday. However, you are more than welcome to embrace the recipe by eating any it time, the perfect Caribbean savoury appetizer.
There are different versions of Fish Cakes/accras throughout the Caribbean, some with potato, eggs and some without. This is the version that my mom made, which is super delicious, hence the reason I tried it out.
Fish Cake Recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 pound dried salted fish (shredded)
1/2 bell pepper finely chopped
2 to 3 seasoning peppers chopped
2 tablespoons thyme leaves
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon thyme
1 onion chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup all purpose flour
2 scallions chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 cup water
1 tablespoon baking powder
Oil for frying about 2 to 3 cups
Instructions:
Boil the cod(salted fish) in a pot of water to get rid of most of the salt (about 20 minutes). Repeat this process twice to make sure the salt fish is not too salty.
When cod has been boiled enough, drain and place in cold water, then shred fish into chunks.
Put all seasoning ingredients (scallions, garlic, peppers, parsley) into a mixing bowl and mix well.
Add shredded cod and combine completely.
Add flour and baking powder, water and mix well.
Heat up the oil for frying.
Take dinner spoonfuls of the batter and place in the hot oil one by one. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry each side of the accra until golden brown. When the cake floats, flip it to the other side.
Transfer to paper towels or brown paper bag to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
Bon Appétit!
