📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Accra is a salt cod fritter eaten on the French Creole islands of the Caribbean, loved in Saint Lucia for breakfast and snacks. Flaked salt cod is mixed into a batter of flour, herbs, green onion, and chili and dropped by spoonfuls into oil. They're crisp outside and fluffy inside.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Friday-night fish festival in a Saint Lucian fishing village, round fritters are scooped from a stall's pot and wrapped in paper.
