stand for 10 minutes. - Drain the salt cod and rinse under cold running water. Drain again
thoroughly. Remove and discard the skin and any bones, then mash the
flesh with a fork. - Put the fish in a large bowl, and combine with the onion, fennel and

mixture at a time, spoon carefully into the hot oil. Cook the fritters, in
batches, for 3โ4 minutes on each side until golden and slightly puffed.
