About Fried bacalao
Fried Bacalao, or fried salted cod, is a flavorful dish rooted in Mediterranean and Iberian cuisines, particularly popular in Spain, Portugal, and Italy. This dish typically features salted cod that has been soaked to remove excess salt, then battered and fried until golden brown. Ingredients often include flour, eggs, oil, and spices, with some variations incorporating herbs or other seasoning blends. Rich in protein, bacalao provides essential amino acids and supports muscle health. The cod itself is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health. However, frying can increase the calorie and fat content, making moderation key. While sodium levels drop significantly during preparation, residual salt may remain. Pair Fried Bacalao with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables to balance its indulgent qualities with added nutrients. This dish is a delicious reminder of centuries-old culinary traditions.
