Portuguese Salt Cod in Olive Oil

In Portugal, salt cod is a workaday fish, cooked into everything from stews to salads. Home cooks will spend hours reconstituting slabs of dried salt cod from the grocery—or they can just open a tin.

This tin, from La Gondola, one of the most revered canneries outside of Porto in Portugal, holds pieces of salt cod bathed in extra virgin olive oil, ready for everyday eating. If you’re looking for a sandwich cod, or something to mix in a salad, reach for this one.
