saltfish

🥗Healthier: canned tuna

💰Cheaper: canned mackerel

Canned tuna is more accessible and less expensive.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice provides a similar acidity at a lower cost.

Start by boiling, in 6 cups of water for 4 minutes, your salted cod.

Pour out the water and boil a second time for 3 minutes.

Drain then use a fork to break up the fish.

Place all of the ingredients into a bowl then blend.

Heat a large heavy pan/dutch pot half full of vegetable oil to a medium heat.

Using a teaspoonful of batter for each fishcake, drop carefully into oil.

You may need to turn the heat down to medium-low if the fish cakes are burning before being fully cooked.

Remove when golden.

Drain on paper towels.

Combine dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl, serve with fishcakes.
