Bacalaitos Fritos

Bacalaitos fritos is a popular snack in the Caribbean, specifically in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The dish is made of a batter consisting of salted codfish, flour, water, onions, and spices, which is then deep-fried until golden brown. Bacalaitos fritos are often served as an appetizer or a quick snack. One serving of bacalaitos fritos contains around 200 calories, 11 grams of protein, 24 grams of carbohydrates, and 6 grams of fat. The salted codfish used in the dish is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. However, due to the high sodium content of the codfish, it is recommended to consume bacalaitos fritos in moderation.
