FRESHENING SALTED FISH

Salted fish can be smoked, pickled or used in a variety 
of recipes, but they need to be freshened in cold water 
first. Soaking in several changes of cold water for 8 to 48 
hours (according to taste), in the refrigerator, should be 
sufficient. Should further freshening be desired, put fish 
in cold water to cover and just bring to a boil; then 
simmer. Cookery methods suitable for salt fish include 
broiling, frying, baking in milk or cream, simmering and 
creaming.
