FAQs About Fish Fritters:

1. What type of fish is best for fritters?
   White fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia work best because of their mild flavor and firm texture.
2. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
   It’s best to make the batter fresh, but you can prepare the dry and wet ingredients separately in advance and combine them just before cooking.
3. Can I bake fish fritters instead of frying?
   Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
4. How do I prevent the fritters from being too greasy?
   Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying and drain the fritters well on paper towels after cooking.
5. Can I use canned fish?
   Fresh fish is preferred, but you can use well-drained canned fish as a quick alternative.
