Wash codfish with lime or lemon juice, dry and dice or shred finely.

Chop very fine the onions, garlic, escallion or leeks, hot pepper and tomatoes, combine.

In a skillet using a small amount of oil, fry the chopped seasoning until thoroughly cooked.

Place the codfish in a mixing bowl and to this add the flour and sufficient cold water to make a batter similar to that of pancakes- quite thin, stirring until smooth.

Add the fried seasoning and the paprika.

Have a skillet well heated with oil for frying, using a moderate amount of oil.

Spoon the batter in the skillet as you would for pancakes, but use a knife to spread each fritter thin.

Fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides.

Drain on paper towels and keep in a dish in a warm oven until ready to serve.

These fritters will make an excellent cocktail snack, for which purpose use a small teaspoon to measure fritters when frying. Spear with toothpicks to serve.

NOTE: The fritters must be served hot.
