Salt Cod Trimmings, 5kg, Icelandic Origin, Desalted by Bacalaos Alkorta Reviews

4.5 Rating 12 Reviews

Our Salt Cod Trimmings, originating from Iceland, are carefully prepared by Bacalaos Alkorta in Gipuzkoa, a renowned family-owned salt cod specialist with over 40 years of experience. This prestigious company supplies some of the best restaurants in Spain. Salt cod requires desalting before use. To prepare, place the cod in a bowl, cover it with water, and refrigerate for 48 hours, changing the water every few hours. This process removes excess salt. Be sure to remove any bones from each fillet using tweezers. Our salt cod is versatile and can be used in various Spanish and Portuguese dishes, such as croquetas or grilled with a piperade sauce.

“A truly outstanding product, and excellent value for money, for a range of cuisines. We have ordered salt cod trimmings many times, and intend to make future purchases. The quality is consistently excellent, the fish is easy and quick to work with with no skin or bones. It comes in convenient 5kg packs, refrigerated it keeps very well. Five stars.”

“Flavour and freshness is good but they say the weight is 5 kg NET and it is only 4.800. Too big amount of cod, 4%, is missing.”

“This product has surprised me. I wanted to try it because I knew if it turned out to be reasonable it would be perfect for making West Indian fishcakes; which everyone in my circle love. Now having got it? I think its exceptional quality. I have not stumbled on any bones so far. The pieces are the right size, cooks very quickly and it completed exceeded all my expectations. I will buy it again and again without doubt.”
