If you're craving bold, savoury flavours and a bite of Caribbean comfort, Jamaican saltfish fritters are the perfect place to start. Also known as stamp and go, these crispy delights are a classic Jamaican appetizer or breakfast item made from seasoned batter and flaky salted codfish.
At Jamaican Cooking Experience, we specialize in bringing the island’s warmth and flavour right to your kitchen or your event! Whether you want to learn to cook traditional dishes or have us cater your next gathering, we’ve got you covered.
Saltfish fritters are bite-sized, pan-fried snacks made with rehydrated salted codfish, herbs, spices, and a light batter. They're crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavour in every bite. In Jamaican homes, they’re a go-to for Sunday breakfast, beach trips, or just an anytime snack.
These fritters are one of the most popular items requested through our catering service, especially for baby showers, backyard parties, and corporate luncheons looking for something unique and unforgettable.

Ingredients (serves 4–6)
1 cup salted codfish (boneless)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 stalks scallions, chopped (green onion)
1/2 small tomato, diced (optional)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 Scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped (optional)
3/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
Oil for frying
Salt to taste
Instructions
Prepare the saltfish: Soak in hot water for 30 minutes or boil for 10–15 minutes to remove excess salt. Drain, cool, and flake with a fork.
Make the batter: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper and all chopped veggies and herbs. Add flaked saltfish.
Add water gradually until the batter is thick but spoonable, not too runny.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Drop batter by spoonfuls into hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
Drain on paper towels and serve hot!
Serving tip: These pair wonderfully with hot sauce, escovitch pickle, or a dab of sweet chilli jam.
