If you saw my posting from yesterday, I made mention of how codfish is traditionally dried in this part of the world. Well, here's what it looks like hung to dry. The whole fish is used as far as I can tell; the heads are dried as well, but are hung separately.
Yes, the name of this little hamlet is actually "Å." It's on what I think is the southeastern most accessible spot on the archipelago.
I hope your weekend has been fun and/or relaxing.

Reine is a fishermen village almost too pretty to be true. Plenty of time to take in the scenery, as we drag all our stuff along the 5km path from the ferry to our place.

What a wonderful day at the office for this hard worker. Spending a big part of the day putting the codfish on the tables so they dry under the sun.
Norway is producing a lot of dried codfish for use in, among other things, Bacalao. This is where they dry them. In the cold fresh air in northern Norway.
Explored #401.
I came back from brushing my teeth and felt the urge to upload this.
It's my last I promise. :)
Oh and today (technically yesterday since it's like 1) was my mom's birthday. Happy birthday mama! <3

Fotos del artista pintor Ernest Descals pintando los interiores de las tiendas de proximidad, las del barrio, Barri Antic, en la ciudad de Manresa, Barcelona,, Catalunya interior.La Pintura con el concepto de interior de una tienda como LA CASA DEL BACALLÁ, dedicada desde hace generaciones a la venta del bacalao, es una de mis especialidades plásticas favoritas y más queridas, en estas pinturas gozo de introducir a los personajes en su hábitat cotidiano. Las medidas del cuadro son de 97 centímetros de altura por 139 de ancho, creo que el tema lo merece para poder detallar todos los aspectos del local bajo el prisma de una atmósfera totalmente única.

HOW DID AKEE COME TO THE USA
USDA Accessions No.: MIA 7337 / PI 103742
Seeds donated by:

Date: 11 September 1933

William Bligh, Captain of the famous Her Majesty's Service BOUNTY (of the Mutiny On The Bounty fame) is credited with bringing Akee from West Africa to the Caribbean Islands, and specifically into Jamaica in 1793.
It is therefore no wonder that Akee, a member of the Sapindaceae (Soapberry) family and relative of the Lychee and the Longan has derived its scientific name of Blighia sapida in honor of Captain Bligh.
Akee has now become a major feature of various Caribbean cuisines, the most famous being the national dish of Jamaica, Akee with Salt Cod.
Strangely enough, the fruit of the Akee is not edible. It is only the fleshy arils around the seeds that are edible. The remainder of the fruit, including the seeds are poisonous. The fruit must only be picked after the fruit has opened naturally, and must be fresh and not overripe. Immature and overripe Akees are also poisonous.
