Fish Fritters

Servings:  Makes 6-8 Servings

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked fish
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 large onion, ¼” diced
1 medium-sized green pepper, ¼” diced
1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
hot peppers to taste
1 tsp. salt
1 cup water (approximately)
vegetable oil for deep-frying

Preparation:
Strip the fish into fine flakes and place into a medium-sized bowl. Add the diced onion, green pepper, salt and pepper to taste. In a small dish, crush the hot peppers into the lime juice and add to the bowl.

Sift together the flour and baking powder and fold into the fish mix with the water to make a firm batter.

Pour the oil into a deep-fat fryer or deep pot and preheat. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown.

Remove the fritters with a large slotted spoon; drain on a wire rack over paper towels.
