Soak salt fish in water overnight to remove excess salt.

Drain and rinse the salt fish, then shred it into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine cassava flour, baking powder, and seasoning.

Add shredded salt fish, chopped onions, peppers, garlic, and parsley to the flour mixture.

Mix in water gradually until a thick batter forms.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

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

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

Serve hot with lemon juice or a dipping sauce.
