Saltfish Week started last week and it has started well. Thirteen restaurants around the country offer gourmet salted fish dishes, each with its own format.
There is a long history and tradition for the processing of salted fish in this country, but before that the salt was used primarily to extend the shelf life. Today, however, the salt is used to produce a gourmet product that is very popular in southern Europe and goes by the name bacalao, baccalá or bacalhau. Icelandic salted fish is known for its excellent quality and plays an important role in food traditions, not least at Easter and Christmas.
