Recipe for Bacalaitos (Cod Fish Fritters)
Ingredients:
- 1 (4.5 oz) box of Goya Bacalaitos fish fritter mix
- ½ cup shredded dried cod (soaked overnight)
- Optional: ¼ cup all-purpose flour (as needed for consistency)
- Water (as required for batter consistency)
- Oil for greasing the electric griddle
Equipment:
- Electric griddle
- Air fryer
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork
- Spatula
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cod:
- Ensure the shredded dried cod has been soaked overnight. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Goya Bacalaitos fish fritter mix and the soaked cod.
- Gradually add water to the mix while stirring with a whisk or fork until the batter reaches a smooth, thick consistency. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more water.
- If desired, incorporate ¼ cup of all-purpose flour to achieve a lighter texture, mixing well to combine.
3. Cook on the Electric Griddle:
- Preheat the electric griddle to medium heat and lightly grease the surface with oil.
- Spoon the batter onto the griddle, shaping into fritters about 3 inches across. Allow some space between each fritter.
- Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Finish in the Air Fryer:
- Once cooked on the griddle, transfer the fritters to the air fryer basket.
- Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
5. Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the bacalaitos from the air fryer and let them cool briefly on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce, such as aji verde or garlic mayonnaise.
Enjoy your delicious bacalaitos, a perfect treat for any occasion!

RESPONSE:
To incorporate sofrito and adobo into your Bacalaitos (Cod Fish Fritters) recipe, you can confidently add the following amounts based on traditional Puerto Rican recipes and the proportions in your ingredient list:
Recommended Amounts
- Sofrito:
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sofrito to your batter.
- Multiple authentic recipes for similar batch sizes use between 1 teaspoon and 2 tablespoons per batch, with 2 tablespoons providing robust flavor without overpowering the fritter[1][2][3][4].
- Adobo:
Add 1 teaspoon of adobo seasoning.
- This is a standard amount for a recipe using about 1 cup of flour or a boxed mix, ensuring a well-seasoned but not overly salty result[5][3][4].
Adjusted Recipe (with Sofrito and Adobo)
Ingredients:
- 1 (4.5 oz) box of Goya Bacalaitos fish fritter mix
- ½ cup shredded dried cod (soaked overnight)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sofrito
- 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
- Optional: ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for texture, if needed)
- Water (as required for batter consistency)
- Oil for greasing the electric griddle
Optional Add-ins for More Authentic Flavor:
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
- 1–2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons finely diced onion or bell pepper
Notes on Adjusting Consistency and Flavor
- Sofrito adds moisture and flavor, so add it before adjusting the water. After adding sofrito, add water gradually to reach a thick, pourable batter.
- Adobo is salty, so taste your batter (especially if your cod is still salty) before adding extra salt.
- If you want a lighter texture, keep the optional flour and add a splash more water if the batter thickens too much with the sofrito.
Supporting Recipe References
- Several Puerto Rican bacalaitos recipes use 1–2 tablespoons of sofrito per 1–2 cups of flour or equivalent mix[1][2][3][4].
- 1 teaspoon of adobo is standard for a similar quantity of batter[5][3][4].
- Additional aromatics (garlic, cilantro, onion, pepper) are commonly included for extra depth[1][2][3].
Summary Table
| Ingredient | Amount to Add | Notes |
|------------------|----------------------–-|-----------------------------------------|
| Sofrito | 1–2 tablespoons | Add before adjusting water |
| Adobo | 1 teaspoon | Taste before adding extra salt |
| Optional flour| ¼ cup | For lighter texture, as needed |
| Water | As needed | Adjust after sofrito is added |
These additions will give your bacalaitos a more authentic Puerto Rican flavor, with aromatic depth and balanced seasoning, while maintaining the correct batter consistency[5][4][2].
