If you’re looking for a crispy, flavorful appetizer that transports you straight to the Caribbean, French Antillean Cod Fritters (Accras de Morue) are the perfect choice! These deep-fried delights are a staple in the cuisine of French islands Guadeloupe and Martinique, combining salted cod with aromatic herbs and spices for a delicious bite every time.
Known as Accras de Morue, these Antillean cod fritters have tons of flavor and the best texture! Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, they’re irresistibly delicious and always a hit when I serve them.
I love how the salted cod pairs with fresh herbs, crunchy spring onions, and warm spices—it’s a true taste of the French Caribbean. If you’re a fan of bold, briny flavors like olives, capers, anchovies, and of course salted cod, this recipe will win you over in no time!
Best of all, these fritters are incredibly easy to make, making them perfect for parties, snacks, or a flavorful side dish. Give them a try (and let me know how they turned out!), and they might just become your new favorite too!
