Cod is an important fish. Dried and then cooked in liquid, cod provided healthy sustenance for crews in sailing vessel days. It is the essential ingredient in the fabulous fish cakes fried by BSK and gifted daughter, Lesley R. Salt cod (soaked to remove salt) is combined with mashed potatoes, cream, garlic and olive oil to make Brandade, a dish favored by HG. Cod is one of the ingredients in BSK’s chowders (heartening in cool and breezy Prince Edward Island days). Last night, creative BSK brought cod to a high taste level at dinner. Filets were poached gently in a broth flavored by Japanese and Chinese spices and powders. Best cod HG ever tasted. It flaked with a touch of a fork and was juicy and sea flavored. BSK served it with fresh PEI yellow beans and small, boiled PEI potatoes. Adorned the cod with spoonfuls of Legal SeaFood Chipotle tartar sauce. Sumptuous eating.
