Pataniscas de Bacalhau are delicious and crispy codfish fritters that are a popular Portuguese appetizer. The codfish is first soaked in water to remove the salt, then shredded and mixed with flour, eggs, onions, and parsley. The mixture is then shaped into small fritters and fried until golden brown. Pataniscas de Bacalhau are a healthier alternative to deep-fried snacks, as they are made with minimal oil and are packed with protein from the codfish. Serve them as an appetizer or a light snack for a taste of Portuguese cuisine.
