Fried Salt Cod Fritters (Gluten-Free)
Flaked salt cod is folded into a light gram-flour and rice-flour batter with garlic, parsley and lemon zest, then spooned into hot oil until golden and crisp outside, tender and briny within. Served hot with a lemon wedge, these fritters skip wheat entirely while keeping the crunchy Italian street-food character intact.
