The recipe of stockfish accommodated brings together the Nordic tradition with Ligurian products, starting with pine nuts and olive oil, for a really interesting result.
Stockfish, air dried cod
There is often confusion as to what stockfish and cod are. In reality they are both cods, but worked in different ways. Stockfish is the fish that, freshly caught and cleaned, is left to dry in the open air on the islands to the north of Norway, for 4 months, from February to May. Once dehydrated it keeps for a long time, keeping all its properties intact. Before consuming it, it should be soaked for several days, changing the water several times. The cod is, instead, the cod put under salt. Salting was also a means of preserving fish in the absence of refrigeration. As with stockfish, cod is also consumed after soaking for at least 48 hours. Its meat has a less decisive flavor than those of stockfish.
