From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pescado frito (literary means: fried fish) , or peixe frito, is a traditional Shabbat fish dish (usually cod) amongst Spanish and Portuguese Jews.[1] The deep-frying of the fish in vegetable oil makes it crisp and light even when eaten cold, and it is a favourite dish of the late breakfast or lunch after synagogue services on Saturday morning. The dish is also eaten in the Philippines where it is called pinritong isda in Filipino.
There is a general belief that pescado frito could be an inspiration for the fish part of fish and chips.
