1

Poach the fish in salted water with the bay leaf and peppercorns. Remove the fish when cooked (about 3 to 4 minutes) and place it in a dish.
2

Crumble the fish with a fork, then add the scallions, parsley, lime zest and juice, garlic, and chili. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3

In another bowl, mix the flour, egg, milk, and baking soda to make a thick batter, then combine it with the fish.

Heat the oil in a deep skillet. When hot, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
5

Drain the fried accras on paper towels, then serve hot with lime wedges or a sauce of your choice.
