Bolinho de Bacalhau

Cultural Context

Bolinho de Bacalhau, or codfish cakes, are a beloved Brazilian snack with roots in Portuguese cuisine. Traditionally served during festive occasions, these fritters are made with salted cod, a staple in coastal regions. They highlight the fusion of flavors and cooking techniques brought by Portuguese immigrants. Today, they are enjoyed in homes and bars across Brazil, often paired with cold beer or as part of a larger meal.
