Prepare the fish by boiling until cooked through, then flake into small pieces.

Boil potatoes until tender, then mash until smooth.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine flaked fish, mashed potatoes, sautéed onion and garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.

Mix until well combined and form into small patties or balls.

Coat each croquette in bread crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
