Ingredients for about 12 fritters measured with a tablespoon each

For the Court Bouillon:

2 liters water
1 bay leaf
A few slices of carrot
A few slices of onion
A few pinches of salt
A squeeze of lemon juice
A few peppercorns

2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 teaspoon fresh chili pepper, finely sliced
Salt and pepper to taste

you can use 150 grams of your preferred batter (I used a batter with whole eggs instead of just yolks)
here is the version to have just 150 grams ( same process as the video)
1 whole eggs
100 grams flour
half teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon oil
80 ml of either milk or beer (add a bit more milk if the batter becomes too thick)

  1. Yes in the Caribbean it's called Saltfish Accra where we use salted Cod fish that is boiled to release the excess salt and then strained, washed out and added to a batter. It's quite nice served with a tamarind or mango sauce and mainly used as street food or finger food/ hors d'oeuvres

  2. Okay… I’m drooling 🤤 on my phone😄 Gotta try this! Might have to back off on the heat of the dipping sauce, though. Bon appetit! 🍽️

  3. I know an Afghan lady who makes something very similar to this, but with red meat, or vegetables, like zucchini, potatoes, or some such. She calls it PaCowRa. For sauce she uses the classic Middle Eastern sauce.. yogurt, minced fresh mint and cucumbers, and salt. Could also add some minced hot peppers. Good stuff, specially as a hot summer afternoon snack 👍

  4. We don't eat these in the USA. We don't like putting fish balls in our mouths. 😁😂
    (It must not translate the same in French…)

  5. What do you mean you can make batter wth out beer ? I cant do any thing with out beer .. I drive to the shops with beer , perhaps you get teh point … Looks great i Australai we have a couple of white fish to do this with ..
    Iam goign to give it a go

  6. I make zucchini fritters a lot in the summer. I haven't thought of fish at all ! :)) I'll try it.
