Step 1

Soak the salt fish overnight in cold water.

Step 2

Boil the fish for 10 minutes, taste and if that’s okay for you allow it to cool, if not boil in fresh water for another 10 and repeat if needed.

Step 3

While the fish is cooling, finely chop up the peppers, spring onion, scotch bonnet, tomato and thyme add them all to a bowl and mix.

Step 4

In a separate bowl add the self-raising flour, custard powder, salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Mix while dry.

Step 6

Slowly add in the water mixing until it is all combined. the batter should be thick enough and not too watery.

Step 7

Now add in the chopped ingredients and stir within the batter.

Step 8

You may need to add extra flour to thicken.

Step 9

Heat oil in a pan, enough to shallow fry. The oil should be hot enough but not too hot as you need to cook the fritters all the way through and not just the outside.

Step 10

Spoon the batter into the hot oil and cook until golden brown turning often so they cook evenly. Once cooked remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper. It is served with a dip and coleslaw. Lick you’re lips and enjoy 😋🤣
