    Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let sit for 1-4 hours.
  2. For cooking fishPlace the cod, thyme, parsley, green onions, chives, allspice, and chili pepper in a food processor and process until a thick paste forms. Stir this paste into the dough.
  3. Heat corn oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet or deep fryer to 180-190°C (350-375°F), filling to a depth of 5 cm (2 inches). Drop batter pieces into the oil, teaspoonfuls at a time.
