Bacalaitos || Puerto Rican Cod Fish Fritters
𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐬 (Puerto Rican Salted Cod Fish Fritters)
These bacalaitos are a classic Puerto Rican street food found at many kiosks that surround the island’s beachsides. Typically they are made much bigger on the island and are seen hanging on pins over the deep fryer of whichever random food truck you decide to stop at. I often wait for The Puerto Rican Day Parades to indulge in these type of frituras but sometimes you just have to settle your craving.
So what exactly are Bacalaitos for those who are unfamiliar? Bacalaitos are deep-fried codfish fritters made from a flour-based batter flavored with aromatic Puerto Rican herbs and spices. You can use fresh cod but I rather use the packaged heavily salted, nearly desiccated codfish. These have to be soaked and boiled to remove the salt and then shredded after to be added into the batter along with homemade sofrito, sazon, adobo, garlic, red bell peppers oregano and in this case diced scallions and vegetable stock.
Typically the stock used is from the bacalao itself but the vegetable stock gives it an extra punch. After that the batter is spread out into oil and deep fried until golden brown. What you’re left with is a crispy result of something between an insanely flavorful funnel cake on steroids and a salted chip. Hard to explain but once you try this you will understand and be forever thankful!

Nothing better than Puerto Rican food🤤
I just got one in the Bronx and homie didn’t speak any English! His accent was so thick I could hear his grandma in his voices very delicious I’m so happy rn love NYC
I haven’t been to Puerto Rico (home) since 2017. Where I live there’s no type of Puerto Rican food unless I cook it. I’m definitely going to try your recipe. Glad you’re back.

I would go insane. There’s nothing but Puerto Rican food where I’m currently at, but it’s hit or miss or it’s overpriced. It’s nice to have a break from cooking here and there but when I go out I always come back thinking I could of just made this myself at home and it be cheaper.
It's looking very delicious yummy recipes thanks for sharing such a good recipe Cook with taste & Life

I will try this recipe. I think I would put a bit less of the Sofrito and the garlic.

🙌🏼 to a fellow Melendez. I’ve always said that tutorials are a basic guide to making your dish but doesn’t have to be followed to a T. For me it’s all about learning a dish and making it your own so definitely go with what you feel.
That looks DELICIOUS. It’s nice to see a nice young man cooking. Buen provecho
