Pirate Theme Party

No doubt cod was a staple pirate recipe. Pirates feasted on many types of seafood & the Caribbean is ripe with codfish. Try it out and check back at our pirate recipe blog often for more ideas.

1/4 lb. raw codfish, (Dried Salted Codfish)
1/4 lb. flour 1 medium sized onion
2 medium sized tomatoes
1 small clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 stalks escallion (or leeks)
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper
Wash codfish with lime or lemon juice, dry and dice or shred finely.
Chop very fine the onions, garlic, escallion or leeks, hot pepper and tomatoes, combine.
In a skillet using a small amount of oil, fry the chopped seasoning until thoroughly cooked.
Place the codfish in a mixing bowl and to this add the flour and sufficient cold water to make a batter similar to that of pancakes- quite thin, stirring until smooth.
Add the fried seasoning and the paprika.
Have a skillet well heated with oil for frying, using a moderate amount of oil.
Spoon the batter in the skillet as you would for pancakes, but use a knife to spread each fritter thin.
Fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
Drain on paper towels and keep in a dish in a warm oven until ready to serve.
These fritters will make an excellent cocktail snack, for which purpose use a small teaspoon to measure fritters when frying. Spear with toothpicks to serve.
NOTE: The fritters must be served hot.

“Squawk!” Petey screamed. “I don’t want to be eaten, Squawk!” The pirates were speechless at the sight of this bird perched on Guy’s shoulder. “Aye, so ya can talk, can ya?!” Wellington said. “Well exactly why shouldn’t we eat ya anyways?’ “Wouldn’t you like something with a little more meat?” Petey asked. “I’m a small bird & wouldn’t even fill your stomach. Why not get a deer or a boar?” “I’d like to have me some pork, but unless you know any boars who can talk, I’m afraid your outta luck.” Wellington warned. “Squawk! I know where the boar is … I know where the boar is!” Petey pleaded. “I’ll take ya to him only if you promise to let me live …. Squawk!” “All right then. You show us where to get ourselves a boar & I’ll think about lettin ya live.” Wellington said. Petey was visibly trembling when he said “lets go!”

Today’s edition of the pirate party idea blog is the continuation of the Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates saga. Soon, we will offer an ebook on the other adventures of the notorious pirates. Check the pirate party idea blog daily for updates.

Captain Wellington had lost track of time as he starred at his beautiful ship, the Rita. He came to attention quickly when he heard the ruckus coming from some of the men. “What you got there Guy?” “How’d ya get that bird to sit on your shoulder?” “Stand back … stand back!” Guy snorted. “This here’s my friend Petey. He’s my pet & you ain’t allowed to eat em. I know you is hungry, but Petey is off limits! You got that?” A voice boomed over by the ship, “not if I have anything to say about it” Wellington belched. “We ain’t had nothing to eat in 3 days, so anything is on the menu.” Petey squawked, & Guy told him not to worry. “No skipper, I have a particularly good reason why we shouldn’t eat the bird ….. you see ….. Petey here can talk.” The group fell silent & all looked amazingly at the parrot.

This is the seventh pirate party idea installment of the saga of Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates adventure. Soon, we’ll be posting an e-book about the pirates exploits. Check the pirate party idea blog daily for updates.

Captain Wellington was lost in thought as he waited for Guy to return from his search for water. He was staring at the Rita. Aye, what a beautiful ship she was. She was made of the finest timbers of Russia and was first put to the water in the Black Sea. It had taken him a lot of money and time to procure her, but now she was his. He was saddened as he looked at his beautiful ship because there was a large hole in the hull. He could repair her and felt compelled to do so. She had kept him from harms way so many times that he couldn’t recall. There were the fierce hurricanes that she pushed through and the countless engagements with the East India Company. She had never gotten the worse of either of them, and even with a hole in the hull, she was able to take the men to safety. Wellington couldn’t stand to see her suffer. He felt like he loved the ship as a wife. Wellington’s reminiscing didn’t last. He heard commotion coming from the camp and turned to see shipmate Guy walking up with a parrot on his shoulder.

This is the sixth installment of the pirate party idea blog: Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates. Come back to the pirate party idea blog often to get updates on this adventure.

Guy knew there was no way he was going to get the treasure out of the cave by himself, and he certainly couldn’t enlist the help of his new friend Petey. Besides, the Rita was a long way off from being repaired, that is if they could actually do the repairs. He decided to head back and show the crew his amazing new bird. Petey walked beside Guy for a while, but then grew tired. Guy was getting tired of having to wait for the bird, so he finally reached down and picked him up. He set him on his shoulder and continued to trek back to the camp. Apparently Petey was very pleased with this. He started to whistle old pirate tunes while swaying back and forth on Guy’s shoulder. It was a bizarre scene. As they approached the camp, Guy looked up at Petey and said “Remember our deal Petey. You ain’t gonna say nothin to the crew about the treasure, right? If you did, I’d have to roast you up and eat you like a chicken!” At this Petey trembled a bit, then replied, “Aye aye Guy. Mums the word for Petey.”

This is the next installment to the pirate party idea blog: Captain Wellington and the Parrot Pirates. Enjoy and come back for more on this adventure.

As Guy turned around, he could swear he was hearing the parrot talk, but could he really believe what he was seeing? Maybe one of his shipmates was playing a prank on him and it was time to put a stop to it. He made his way back to the top of the cave only to see that the bird did not move. It hadn’t even flinched. He got just inches from it, and it squawked again, “Guy found the treasure.” He was stunned. How is it that an animal could talk? He had never heard of such a thing. Additionally, how did this parrot know his name? “Hey there buddy, how do you know my name?” The parrot looked away, then back up at Guy and said “Petey has been watchin Guy.” “Petey wants to be a pirate …. Squawk!” Guy considered this for a moment and looked back at Petey. “OK Petey, I’ll let you become a pirate, but you have to promise one thing. You can’t tell anyone else about the treasure!” Petey responded, “Your secrets safe with me Guy. Petey is a pirate! Petey is a pirate!”
