Jamaican Saltfish Fritters (Stamp and Go)

Instructions

• Soak cod in cold water to rehydrate it and remove excess salt, 8 hours to overnight.
• Remove bones and skin from fish. Flake and shred fish into small pieces; set aside.
• Sift flour, pepper, and baking powder into a large bowl. Add tomatoes, green onions, and flaked cod. Pour in 1/2 cup water; stir until well blended.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter into the skillet; fry in hot oil until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
