About Croqueta de bacalao
Croqueta de Bacalao, or cod croquette, is a traditional Spanish delicacy with roots in Mediterranean cuisine. These bite-sized treats consist of a creamy béchamel sauce combined with salted cod (bacalao), which is rehydrated, desalted, and flaked for a rich, savory flavor. The mixture is formed into small ovals, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Cod is an excellent source of lean protein, essential omega-3 fatty acids, and vital nutrients like vitamin B12 and selenium. However, the deep-frying process adds extra calories and fat, which may not align with low-fat dietary goals. Salted cod is also high in sodium, making it important to moderate intake. Best enjoyed as a flavorful snack or appetizer, Croqueta de Bacalao is beloved for its perfect balance of crispy texture and creamy filling. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or a side of vegetables for a more balanced meal.
