Title: Salt Cod Loin 5Kg\n\nWhat is Salt Cod?\nOur salt cod trimmings are from Icelandic origin. They are carefully prepared by Bacalaos Alkorta, a family-owned salt cod specialist based in Gipuzkoa, Spain, with over 40 years of experience. Bacalaos Alkorta is renowned for its high-quality salt cod and supplies some of the best restaurants in the country. This is 'extra' quality salt cod loin, known for its thick and tender meat and minimal small bones. The cod is salt-cured in the traditional Spanish way in Gipuzkoa for 21 days using pure, natural sea salt.\n\nHow to Prepare Salt Cod\nBefore using, salt cod requires desalting. To do this, place the cod in a bowl and cover it with water. Refrigerate the bowl and change the water four times per day for 48 hours to flush away the salt. Remove any bones from each fillet with tweezers.

Superb product, bought the 5 Kg pack and we have used some in the last few days Had been able to obtain this when travelling in Spain over the years However this hadn't been possible so was delighted to find this available in the UK Arrived very rapidly and was well packed ( as was previous Basco order of Tuna and Asparagus ) so have recommended Basco as a supplier to our friends - you can't say more than that.

As a tradition, Bermudians make cod fish cakes for Good Friday using salt cod. After a brief , very helpful, web chat with a representative of Basco we decided the best choice for me was the salt cod loin. I ordered it on a Monday and was advised that delivery times during Covid 19 lockdown were much slower than usual. I hoped for the best and it was delivered on the Thursday, just in time! I was delighted with the quantity and quality of the fish. Very fresh and delicious! I highly recommend this British company supplying Spanish produce!
