Sr. Bacalhau Cod Fish Patties (250g)

Pastéis de Bacalhau Sr. Bacalhau 250g

Savor one of Portugal's most beloved culinary treasures with Sr. Bacalhau Cod Fish Patties (Pastéis de Bacalhau). As a premier name in traditional Iberian seafood, Sr. Bacalhau creates these savoury croquettes using an authentic time-tested recipe, delivering the exact flavours found in bustling coastal taverns.

These patties strike the ultimate textural balance: a perfectly crisp, golden-brown outer shell that breaks away to reveal a beautifully light, fluffy interior packed with authentic shredded salted codfish, smooth mashed potatoes, eggs, onions, and a fresh flecking of parsley. Conveniently pre-shaped and frozen, they go from your freezer to your plate in minutes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Authentic Portuguese Recipe: Made by the codfish experts at Sr. Bacalhau, ensuring a genuine balance of fish, potato, and classic herbs without artificial fillers.
• Fluffy, Shredded Interior: Filled with real, stringy flakes of salted cod (bacalhau) rather than a smooth paste, giving it a beautifully rustic and authentic mouthfeel.
• Effortless Party Starter: Pre-shaped and ready to cook, making them an instantaneous gourmet option for holiday platters, game days, or casual evening petiscos (tapas).
• Convenient 250g Pack: Perfectly sized for a quick family appetiser, a side dish, or a shared snack over a cold beverage.

Best Ways to Cook & Serve

• Classic Deep Fry: Fry the frozen patties in hot vegetable oil at 180°C for 4 to 5 minutes until they achieve a deep, uniform golden hue. Drain on paper towels to maintain their signature crunch.
• Guilt-Free Air Fryer: Lightly brush or spray the patties with extra virgin olive oil. Air fry at 200°C for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for a lighter, beautifully crisp finish.
• The Ultimate Meal Pairing: While delicious on their own as a finger food with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, they are traditionally served as a main meal alongside a steaming bowl of red bean rice (arroz de feijão) or tomato rice (arroz de tomate).
• The True Tasca Experience: Pair these piping hot pastéis de bacalhau with a crisp glass of chilled Portuguese Vinho Verde (Green Wine). The sharp, vibrant acidity of the wine cuts beautifully through the savoury, rich texture of the fried cod.
