Bacalao, or salt cod, plays an important role in Spanish and Catalan cuisine. Try this easy recipe for bu\u00f1uelos de bacalao, or cod fritters, one of our favorite tapas!<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bacalao is a product\u00a0that you will see all over the markets of Barcelona. In the past, coating the fish in salt was a way of preserving it\u2014a step that was necessary, given that it’s not a fish you’d find in the Mediterranean sea! Though this method of conservation is no longer necessary (read: freezers), we still do it because it adds so much flavor in the process!<\/p>\r\n

Expert’s tip:<\/strong> Bacalao – or bacalhau<\/em>, as it’s called in Portuguese – is also HUGE in Portugal. Find out more about the history of this important food in Behind the Bite: Salt Cod<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These are\u00a0<\/em>small pieces of desalted bacalao<\/em> that are nearly ready for throwing into the batter. You will need to make them a tad smaller by cutting or tearing them up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
