This yummy Spanish Cod Fritters Recipe is made of simple ingredients like wild-caught cod, potatoes, garlic, parsley, flour, eggs, salt & pepper. They are incredibly delicious!
Cod Fritters are one of the popular Spanish tapas. If you are like me, who for the longest time didn't know what tapas are, until I googled it online, it is simply means Spanish appetizers.
Now, this Spanish recipe is super special to me because of the 3 reasons.
Reason #1 - this recipe was created for Fred Meyer's event called #TasteofSpain, that is currently going on right now at Fred Meyers. I was so thrilled to be part of it, creating and sharing Spanish recipes, using ingredients that were imported from Spain like olive oil, chorizo, paella rice, Spanish wine, cheese, olives, tapas sauces and so much more.
All of these Spanish ingredients are now available for you to buy at any Fred Meyer Stores.
Reason #2 - this delicious cod fritters recipe was entirely made by two of my daughters ages 2 & 5, and it was filmed on camera! Yep, there is our 1st cooking with kids recipe video on the bottom of this post. Even after 5 "don't want to share" tantrums we were able to film tapa recipe to the end.
Reason #3 - we all had a lot of fun creating, filming and eating these crispy cod fritters and I hope you will enjoy them too:D
