salted cod
Cured white fish
Salted cod is cod fish preserved by heavy salting and drying, a technique that predates refrigeration.
The dried fish becomes board-stiff and must be soaked for hours or days before cooking to rehydrate it and draw out excess salt.
It remains central to cuisines from Portugal (bacalhau) to the Caribbean to Scandinavia: She's making salted cod fritters for dinner.
