Bacalaítos (Codfish Fritters)
Historia
When Don Luis was a niño growing up near the coast, the sound de waves crashing was often followed by the *sizzle* de something delicious frying in Abuela’s cast iron pan. On Saturdays, the salty breeze carried a scent that could stop any kid mid-game: Bacalaitos! 😋 Crispy, golden, y full de flavor, these fritters were more than food — they were tradition. Now, in his rustic-modern kitchen, Don Luis flips these codfish delights con flair while teaching the younger generation why we *never* skip on seasoning — y always make a few extras, because they *vanish* fast! 🌀🍽️ Prep, cocina, & Nutrition
