Lent Fishy Fave: Bacalaitos!

Lent is here. No matter your churchgoing practices, for many of us, no-meat Fridays remain a powerful family and cultural tradition. We asked Familia Kitchen cocinera (and co-founder Kim’s former Chicago neighbor) Doña Felipa for her recipe for bacalaitos (codfish fritters). So crunchy, crispy, salty-sweet, delicioso! This traditional Puerto Rican treat is a year-round fave that’s perfect for the six Fridays of Lent. (And a great way to get kids to eat fish.)
