Pear – Shaped Salt Cod Fritters la Sirena

Spanish cooks can usually make good salt cod fritters in their sleep. But those made by Mari Carmen Vélez, the feisty chef at La Sirena restaurant in Alicante, are in a league of their own. Not only are hers impeccably fluffy and crisp; they are also adorable—shaped like tiny pears. Little wonder that the tapas bar at La Sirena is always mobbed.
