Description
Salty Stockfisk will make a wine taste sweeter than it is.
Salty fish begs for wines from the seashore.
A dry white wine with good acidity will work best.
Stockfish is popular in Mediterranean countries, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
In Portugal
Bacalao is the Portuguese word for dried and salted cod.
There are numerous bacalao recipes. In Portugal it is said there are more than 365 ways to cook bacalao, one for every day of the year (some say there are 1,001 ways).
In Italy
Stockfish is normally called Stoccafisso in Italy, but in the Veneto region it is called Baccalà.
