Flake the cod into small pieces, removing any bones and skin.

Peel and julienne potatoes, then fry in olive oil until golden and crispy.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté onions until translucent.

Add the flaked cod to the onion mixture and stir to combine.

In a bowl, whisk eggs and season with salt and pepper.

Pour the eggs over the cod mixture and gently stir until eggs are just set, about 2-3 minutes.

Fold in the fried potatoes and mix well.

Garnish with black olives before serving.
