Spanish Salt Cod Croquetas - these are a world away from the frozen potato affairs you find skulking at the bottom of supermarket freezers. You'll find these croquetas gracing some of the best pintxos bars in San Sebastian. These are entirely hand-made not with potato but with a thick bechamel made from the local milk of the region. Hand rolled and coated in breadcrumbs they are made using the best ingredients. In this case using flaked salt-cod. Making your own croquetas is great fun but this not only takes out some of the hard labour but ensure your getting the authentic croquetas experience made with top quality Spanish ingredients. They make a perfect tapas or pintxos, just deep fry from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown on the outside or shallow fry in small batches, turning often, until a lovely, crunchy golden colour for 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Come frozen in trays of 12 croquetas of approx. 50g each. Cook from frozen.

These really are the closest thing to what you would get in Pais Basque, In fact they are produced in a town about 10kms from where we have visited since the 80’s as kids They taste superb and are really unctuous

Very tasty, taste like Spain! Make sure to cook at high temp and for long enough, so the centre is melted nicely. Will buy again!

Basco Salt Cod Croquetas straight from the freezer and deep fried for 5-7 minutes then onto your plate with a little aioli..cut off a crisp and oozing morsel, dip and close your eyes as you put it into your mouth...you are back in Spain.. the sun is shining and you are in your favourite and best Tapas place...magical..
