Salted cod/fish?

[Bubblingbrooks]

I have been going back over the Little House books for ideas, and am curious if anyone has ever salted fish for dry/shelf storage?
And this will require a thread all of its own, but I plan to make Hasty Pudding in a few days.
Will post about that when it happens.

When I was a teen my folks had a friend who briefly had a business going to the shore to buy fish, then coming inland to sell it from his truck. Lotsa leftovers. Mom salted a LOT of fish. I'll see if she remembers (Alzheimer's) how she did it and how she stored it. We ate a lot of breaded and fried fish cakes.....yum! Homemade fishsticks, really.

What's Hasty Pudding?

There's a salted codfish thing called bakala, and as far as I know, it lasts for freaking ever, so long as it remains dry.

However, it also takes a lot of soaking with multiple water changes to make it edible again.

I can't offer advice on how to make it, but I do know that it can be served in both a cream sauce and a red wine/tomato sauce.

It's also a family joke at home.

Remember the SALT thread I started a while back after I read that book? There are links to old old cookbooks and I think there were recipes in those.
