A classic recipe for salted cod brandade

Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik

You walk into a fishmonger’s. Your eyes scan the fillets steaks and whole fish on ice. You see mussels shrimp of various sizes scallops cleaned tubes of squid and net bags of inky black mussels. Your gaze wanders and settles on a wooden box filled with dried strips of yellowish cod all coated in salt. You realize that this is the source of the strong fishy smell that is wafting its way up your nose. A half-thought flashes through your mind—something vague about Portuguese stews made with salted cod and a reminder that it is actually something you like. A few neurons fire weakly suggesting to the decision-making part of your brain that you should consider buying it. Then you look up at the fishmonger.

“I'd like two of those salmon fillets.”
