Los Bacaladitos Están Friendo
The fish used was cod, but the fillets were rather small, so instead of el bacalao, Chón called them bacaladitos.
Los Bacaladitos Fritos
Pan rallado y la harina por el pescado y la berenjena.
La berenjena
Chón deep fried small cod fillets (los bacaladitos) and eggplant (la berenja) after dipping them in egg (el huevo), flour (la harina), then bread crumbs (el pan rallado) made from stale baguette. She grated the baguette using a grater (el rallador), which I thought was a great idea. This method produces very fine crumbs and can only be done with stale baguette.
The eggplant (la berenjena), sprinkled with salt, and are ready to be dunked in beaten egg. They are sitting on una tabla de cortar.
Berenjenas Fritos, Ensalada, y Bacaladito Frito
This was my first time having fried eggplant. It was nice and crisp on the outside. The fried mini-cod was tasty, too. There was a bit too much deep-frying going on for my taste, but the crisp lettuce definitely helped balance the richness of the eggplant and fish. I must say, Chón´s fish was better than the few versions of "fish and chips" I´ve eaten in restaurants . The coating on those fish have been heavy and unappetizing.
