Cod is a favourite choice in many households at Christmas. It is very versatile and can be prepared in many different ways, which allows for a varied and less monotonous consumption. It is usually sold dried and salted, but it can also be bought already soaked and deep-frozen or fresh in fillets or slices. The drying and salting process is natural, with no chemical substances added, thus preserving its nutritional properties. Soaking is important because otherwise the salty taste cannot be tolerated. Furthermore, the more often the water is changed from the cod, the greater the amount of salt removed, which is essential to ensure that there is no excessive intake of this ingredient. The soaking time can vary between 48 and 72 hours, depending on the thickness of the slices. In the case of shredded cod, around six hours is usually sufficient.
