Mash the cloves of garlic, remove the skins and add the garlic into a large bowl, along with the oregano, paprika, cumin and sea salt, then add in the sherry vinegar, water and break in the bay leaves, mix together and set aside
Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels, then cut each one into large bite-sized pieces, add them into the bowl with the sauce, gently mix together, making sure all the pieces are coated in the sauce, cover with saran wrap and add into the fridge, marinate between 2 to 8 hours
Once the cod is marinated, heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
Drain the cod into a colander, then pat dry with paper towels, generously coat each piece in flour seasoned with black pepper
Add the coated pieces of cod into the hot olive oil, all in a single layer, fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden fried, then remove from the pan and add into a plate with paper towels
Transfer into a serving dish and garnish with parsley, serve warm or at room temperature, enjoy!
