Bacalaítos (Codfish Fritters) con Ajo Aioli
Historia
Every Sunday in Santurce, the scent de sizzling bacalaítos danced through the air, drifting from every street corner like a savory song. Don Luis, still wearing his signature jean y leather apron, would grab a wooden spoon y say, “¡Ahora sí! It’s *bacalaíto time*.” 😄 He’d tell stories de growing up near the beach, where the salty air reminded him de dried codfish y laughter around a big pot de hot oil. This was the recipe that brought three generations together — Abuelo mixing the batter, mamá flipping the fritters, y Don Luis (the youngest back then!) sneaking the first bite when no one was watching. The ajo aioli was his little twist — creamy, garlicky, y full de love. 💛 Time & Details
