Desalt the fish overnight. 

Prep. time: 15 minutes
Resting time: 1 hour
Cooking time: A few minutes

To keep the fritters from being too salty, soak the salt cod in water overnight, changing the water at least 3 times.

The oil should not be too hot, otherwise the accras will get too dark before they are cooked. 

Serve the accras as an appetizer with a rum punch for an exotic authentic flavor!

1. Desalt the cod.
2. Flake the cod into a bowl; add the minced onion, garlic, parsley, chives and chili. Combine well.
3. In a bowl, mix together the flour and eggs. Add the milk (or water) to form a smooth batter. Add the baking powder.
4. Pour the batter over the cod mixture and mix well. Taste and correct the seasoning.
5. Heat the frying oil. Meanwhile, form the mixture into small balls, using a little spoon.
6. Drop the balls into the hot oil and cook until golden brown; drain, then transfer to paper towels to cool slightly.
