Spanish Salt Cod Croquetas, Hand-Made, Frozen, Tapas or Pintxos, 12 Pieces Reviews

Spanish Salt Cod Croquetas - these are a world away from the frozen potato affairs you find at the bottom of supermarket freezers. You'll find these croquetas gracing some of the best pintxos bars in San Sebastian. These are entirely hand-made not with potato but with a thick bechamel made from the local milk of the region. Hand rolled and coated in breadcrumbs they are made using the best ingredients. In this case using flaked salt-cod. Making your own croquetas is great fun, but this product takes out some of the hard labour and ensures you're getting the authentic croquetas experience made with top quality Spanish ingredients. They make a perfect tapas or pintxos, just deep fry from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown on the outside or shallow fry in small batches, turning often, until a lovely, crunchy golden colour for 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Come frozen in trays of 12 croquetas of approx. 40g each. Cook from frozen.

Very tasty, taste like Spain! Make sure to cook at high temp and for long enough, so the centre is melted nicely. Will buy again!

Basco Salt Cod Croquetas straight from the freezer and deep fried for 5-7 minutes then onto your plate with a little aioli..cut off a crisp and oozing morsel, dip and close your eyes as you put it into your mouth...you are back in Spain.. the sun is shining and you are in your favourite and best Tapas place...magical..

Excellent. I haven’t tried the others and am greatly looking forward to it. I Only wish the squid were available at the same time to save postage. I would have ordered them and the flour too.

bit difficult to get them crispy (probably need to deep fry) not roast or ordinary frying but taste great!
