About Saltfish
Saltfish, also known as salted cod, is a preserved fish widely used in Caribbean, Scandinavian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Its preparation involves curing fresh cod with salt to enhance its shelf life and flavor. Rich in protein, saltfish is an excellent source of essential amino acids, contributing to muscle repair and overall health. It also provides vitamins like B6 and B12, which support energy metabolism and nerve function, as well as minerals like selenium and phosphorus. However, its high sodium content is a consideration for individuals monitoring their salt intake or managing conditions like high blood pressure. Saltfish is often rehydrated and desalted before cooking, appearing in flavorful dishes like Jamaican ackee and saltfish or Portuguese bacalhau. While it offers nutritional benefits, balance and preparation methods are key to enjoying it as part of a healthy diet.
