Baccala fritters

“These little fritters are best made with cod you’ve salted yourself – simply cover the fresh cod fillet in salt and leave in the fridge for at least 24 hours – but if you don’t want to do that, you can buy salt cod at good fishmongers and delicatessens. Make sure the frying oil is new and clean: if it’s old and dirty, you can taste it straight away. The mixture is bound together with choux pastry, which keeps the fritters really light and fluffy.”
