Pick-up saltfish

[Peasie]

I have a hankering for this Found this recipe at Epicurious. It is very important to use the the pieces with skin and bones as it adds a nicer texture and is more flavorful.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Pick-up saltfish</span>

1 12-ounce piece dried salt cod (with skin and bones)
1 medium onion, minced
1 medium green bell pepper, minced
2 medium tomatoes, seeded, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lime peel
1/2 teaspoon minced seeded Scotch bonnet chile or habanero chile

Rinse salt cod with cold water. Place fish in large bowl; cover with cold water. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 24 hours, changing water once. Drain.

Place fish in large skillet; cover with cold water and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fish flakes easily, about 50 minutes. Drain; cool slightly. Using fingers, shred fish, discarding skin and bones. Measure 11/2 cups shredded fish and place in medium bowl (reserve any remaining fish for another use). Add onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, lime juice, lime peel, and chile to fish and stir to blend. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

Serve with sliced avocado and XLCR crackers

Re: Pick-up saltfish

deeply soaked out fry skin with the bones and the tail is really good tho, no offence to bony/skinnup saltfish.

you have to dry fry that one and then soak it down in lots of pepper with onions and a bit of lemon juice. nice.

Re: Pick-up saltfish

You know Jazz that sounds good and I love my food!! but dear fawda codfish with the skin still intact

I have family members in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia seaside places..... and I remember spending holidays there with them as a kid....and seeing cod with the skin before it was removed and akin to fish with the head still on served on a plate.

I will get the boneless cod and do that recipe....dont know if I can wait that length of time bout store in fridge with cold water. Prolly skip that part and just boil and be done with it

just realize that is Peas post the recipe.....hungry is killing me....mek a go dungstairs now
