Cod cakes are a true delicacy. In this version, fresh cod is flaked with a fork, then added to a simple batter seasoned with paprika and fresh parsley. The batter should be similar to a dense pancake batter, so you may need to add more milk if it is too thick. For the crispiest crust, heat the oil until it is almost smoking before ladleing in the portions, being careful not to overcrowd theh pan.
