Remove cod from water, let cool, and remove skin and bones.

In a food processor, combine the cod, 2 diced shallots, 2 crushed garlic cloves, and about half a tablespoon of olive oil. Pulse until it forms a paste.

Lightly mash the cooled potatoes and add to the cod mixture.

Add 1 beaten egg, a handful of chopped parsley, and black pepper to the potato and cod mixture. Mix until combined.

Shape the mixture into fritters, either by hand or using spoons.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fat fryer to 180°C.

Carefully lower the fritters into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
