DISCOVER FISH

My Uncle Benny's codfish was the best I had ever tasted. When I was younger I would stay over all the time just so he'd feed me. I must say out of all his recipes this one was my favorite.

Dried salt cod can be made in many different ways. This delicate fish can be boiled, sauted, broiled or baked and served with a combination of herbs and spices.

Since codfish is salted make sure it is properly prepared before using. Place the cod in water and refrigerate up to two days changing the water around three times a day. This will remove most of the salt. Once it has soaked, skin it and pick out all the bones before cooking.
