About Salt fish

Salt fish, also known as salted cod, is a preserved fish that has been dried and cured with salt. Originating from coastal regions in Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa, it has been an essential protein staple for centuries. Rich in flavor, it is often used in traditional dishes like ackee and saltfish, bacalhau, and brandade. Nutritionally, salt fish is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support muscle health and heart function. It provides essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, iron, and selenium. However, the curing process introduces significant sodium content, which may not be suitable for individuals managing high blood pressure or heart conditions. To enhance its health profile, salt fish is typically soaked or boiled to reduce salt levels before cooking. This versatile seafood offers a rich history and robust nutritional benefits when prepared mindfully.
