Bacalaitos (Codfish Fritter) uploaded on 1 June 2008

This is a Puerto Rican traditional favorite!

Is made with codfish, flour and latin seasonings.

Once they mix all of that they drop a small amount in hot,hot cooking oil and let them golden.

They are eaten as a snack or appetizer.

You can find them in different areas in Puerto Rico where they practice traditional cooking and the price goes from $1.00 to no more than $2.00.
