Saint Lucia Delicious Fish Cake/Accas Recipe

saltfish

🥗Healthier: fresh fish

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Fresh fish can be lower in sodium, while canned tuna is often more affordable.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: serrano pepper

Jalapeños provide heat with less intensity.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor while being a healthier fat.

Boil the cod(salted fish) in a pot of water to get rid of most of the salt (about 20 minutes). Repeat this process twice to make sure the salt fish is not too salty.

When cod has been boiled enough, drain and place in cold water, then shred fish into chunks.

Put all seasoning ingredients (scallions, garlic, peppers, parsley) into a mixing bowl and mix well.

Add shredded cod and combine completely.

Add flour and baking powder, water and mix well.

Heat up the oil for frying.

Take dinner spoonfuls of the batter and place in the hot oil one by one. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Fry each side of the accra until golden brown. When the cake floats, flip it to the other side.

Transfer to paper towels or brown paper bag to absorb excess oil.
