Frozen - Desalted Portuguese Codfish / Postas Bacalhau

Frozen desalted codfish, or "bacalhau," is a staple in Portuguese cuisine. Cod has been a part of Portuguese culinary traditions for centuries, often dried and salted to preserve it for long voyages. Desalted codfish means the fish has been salted and then rehydrated by soaking it in water to remove the salt, making it ready to cook.

To use frozen desalted codfish, it typically needs to be thawed and soaked in water for several hours or overnight to remove any remaining salt. After that, it's ready to be cooked using one of these traditional methods.
