This makes a very tasty appetizer! Chill overnight, it makes for a less salty fish. These are served all over Miami and they are so good! Originally on the Goya Foods web site.

I love that these bacalaitos are baked, not fried. They're so much healthier, but they still have all the flavor of traditional fried bacalaitos.
