Pastel de Bacalhau, or codfish fritters, is a traditional dish from Portuguese cuisine, cherished for its rich flavor and cultural significance. These golden, crispy delights are made by blending salted codfish (bacalhau) with mashed potatoes, eggs, parsley, and onions. The mixture is seasoned, shaped into oval patties, and deep-fried until perfectly crunchy on the outside while soft and delicate inside. While high in protein due to the codfish, Pastel de Bacalhau is relatively calorie-dense owing to the frying process and starchy components like potatoes. It’s also rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and potassium, though the sodium content can be elevated due to the curing of the fish. As a flavorful appetizer or snack, its moderate portions can fit into a balanced diet when enjoyed occasionally as part of a well-rounded lifestyle.
