Pataniscas are a typical Portuguese dish of small fried fritters. The classic version, patanisca de bacalhau, is made by frying shredded salt cod in a puree of wheat flour, onion and egg seasoned with salt and with parsley or pepper. In the city of Porto the singular form is called an isca. Modern cooks also make them with other fish such as tuna, with other seafood, or in vegetarian versions. A finished patanisca is roughly 8 to 12 centimeters across, and the shape is irregular, ranging from flat to nearly spherical. They are eaten as a snack, a starter or part of a meal.
