Pescado frito

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pescado frito, or fish (usually cod) deep-fried in vegetable oil, is a traditional Shabbat dish amongst Spanish and Portuguese Jews. The deep-frying in vegetable oil makes this fish crisp and light even when eaten cold, and it has therefore been a favourite dish of the desayuno (late breakfast/lunch) after synagogue services on Saturday morning.

It is generally believed that pescado frito is the origin of the fish part of fish and chips.
