Baccalà Fritto

Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 3 days (includes soaking)

Cooks' notes:

• Brands of cod differ in their degree of saltiness: A less salty one may need only 1 day of soaking, while another could require up to 3. To test it, simply taste a small piece after 1 day; you want it to be pleasantly salty but not overwhelming. • If your sea salt is very coarse, lightly crush it with a mortar and pestle or the side of a large heavy knife.
