Cod Croquettes

The cod croquettes everyone agrees are just right! One bite and you'll think you're in a seaside town on the north coast of Spain. We use only 100% certified cod for our "Croquetas de Bacalao." A perfect blend of fish and seasoned bechamel that is a hit with everyone that tries them, even people who used to think they didn't like cod croquettes.

Cooking Instructions

For best results, deep-fry only. Cook from frozen, do not thaw. Cook 4 croquettes at a time in a medium sized sauce pan. Fill sauce pan halfway with your favorite cooking oil. Preheat oil to 350°F. Fry croquettes for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on plate with paper towels for 2 minutes to allow heat to settle. Do not overfill pan, and do not fry more than 4 croquettes at a time. Minimum internal temperature should reach 165°F.
