Chop in small pieces of tomato, onion, garlic, scallion, zucchini, and pepper.
Combine flour, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and thyme in a large mixing bowl.
Add the chopped ingredients to the flour bowl, then add the fish.
Add about 1 ½ cups of water to the bowl them mix well. Slowly add the remaining water as needed to make a thick batter.
Heat avocado or canola oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Drop a spoonful of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Tips

This popular Jamaican Dish is usually served at breakfast or parties as an hors-d’oeuvre.
Always taste your first batch and adjust your seasoning, if needed, before frying the remaining batter.
My favorite veggies that go well with this batter are yellow squash, raw or boiled okra, and bell peppers.
