For Sale at the Port of Lancaster Smoke House, Glasson Dock, Lancashire.

 

Glasson Dock, also known as Glasson, is a village in Lancashire, England, south of Lancaster at the mouth of the River Lune.

Glasson was originally a small farming and fishing community.

 

In 1779, the Lancaster Port Commission decided to build a dock at Glasson because of the difficulties of navigating up the River Lune to the port at Lancaster. Construction was finished by March 1787, when the dock opened and could hold up to 25 merchant ships.

 

Salted Cod has been a mainstay of European trade and cuisine for many centuries.

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.

Bacalhau is the Portuguese word for cod and—in a culinary context—dried and salted cod. Fresh cod is referred to as bacalhau fresco.

 

Bacalhau dishes are common in Portugal and Galicia, in the northwest of Spain, also common in former Portuguese colonies like Cape Verde, Angola, Macau, Brazil, and Goa. There are said to be over 1000 recipes in Portugal alone and it can be considered the iconic ingredient of Portuguese cuisine (but curiously the only fish that is not consumed fresh in this fish-loving nation). It is often cooked on social occasions and is the Portuguese traditional Christmas dinner in some parts of Portugal.

 

Similar recipes can be found across Europe. It is also found in the cuisines of other territories and regions like Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. In Norway, where most of the salted and dried cod is produced, bacalao commonly refers to a specific dish prepared with salted and dried cod, potatoes, onions, tomatoes and olives. In recent years, there has also been increasing interest in the wider range of Portuguese dishes based on dried and salted cod, however.

 

Salted, dried cod, usually comes from Norway (bacalhau da Noruega), Iceland (bacalhau da Islândia) or Newfoundland (bacalhau da Terra Nova). It used to be very affordable, but with the collapse of the cod stocks and dismantling of Portuguese bacalhoeiro fleet, it became more expensive, especially near Easter and Christmas time, since it's a part of many traditional dishes of the holiday season.

Mmm, Ackee and Saltfish is one of my favourite dishes! If you're unfamiliar, it's Jamaica's National Dish.

 

Ackee is a fruit, poisonous in its unripened state. Here, in Canada, it's available as a canned product, usually for around CDN$9.00 per can. I was lucky enough to find this on sale for only CDN$4.99 each.

 

Saltfish, or salted codfish, is the other major component of this dish. It found its way to Jamaica, from Eastern Canada, hundreds of years ago in trade for rum, aka Newfie Screech.

 

Ackee and Saltfish is usually cooked with onions, green onions, thyme, pimento, hot peppers, and spices. I like to start mine by rendering some bacon and cooking everything else in some of the bacon fat. I find it adds a little more flavour. I've also had it cooked in coconut oil. Yummy!

 

It all combines to make a delicious savoury dish! Try it!

Light fluffy balls of mashed potato flecked with salted cod flakes. Quite yummy, especially when paired with the piquant horseradish cream it was sitting on.

 

We took Aunt Lee Leng to Mr Wolf to try some modern, creative pizzas and we left happy and more than satisfied. But Julia and I felt that the prices, which I have forgotten to note, seemed a bit much, and not quite commensurate with the dishes.

Stamp and Callaloo Fritters - Babble On Babylon AUD7.70 per serve

We got 2 serves of Stamp-and-Go and 1 of Callaloo fritters.

 

The Stamp-and-Go is a fritter with chunks of rehydrated dried salted cod.

 

The Callaloo fritter is similar, but with shredded bits of callaloo leaves.

 

They were served with a sweet chilli sauce and a sour plum (i think) chutney. Great finger food!

Mercado Municipal de São Paulo, located at Rua da Cantareira 306, is a 12,600-square-meter market hall hosts one of São Paulo's largest produce and food markets, packed with 291 shops selling all manners of vegetables, fruits, spices, dairy products, fish and meat every day starting at 6am. The 3-floor, 2-story neo-classical building was designed by architect Francisco Ramos de Azevedo’s office in 1926, and constructed between 1928 and 1932. Its scheduled opened was delayed by the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932, when the uncompleted structure served as headquarters for the military and as a warehouse for arms and munition, before finally opening as a public market on January 25, 1933. Mercadão (The Big Market), as it is affectionately known by locals, welcomes around 14,000 visitors daily, and employs more than 1,500 people, which together handle about 450 tons of food per day in more than 290 boxes.

Once again, Mr Fong and Mr Wong met for lunch-

 

He had grilled salted cod and tap water.

And I had Portuguese seafood paella, glass of sparkling wine and black coffee.

 

We talked about Hong Kong, the joy of drinking a decent Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the textural quality of bacalhau.

Why would anyone in this age of modern refrigeration attempt to cook dinner by starting out with a smelly, dried out, hard as a rock, overpriced, salt incrusted, stale, hunk of dead fish?

Simple....because my olfactory bulb is part of my brain's limbic system.... thats why!

I have fond memories of my father enjoying this stuff for that "special" dinner. I beleive he developed a taste for it aboard ship while in the navy. For some way weird reason I like the stuff too... I'm quessing the aroma of this "delicacy" brings back those fond memories of my father and my childhood.... my childhood must have stunk!

Anyway, going to give it a go for dinner, has about two weeks worth of the daily recommended allowance of salt in it.... might be my last supper, and last flickr post..... At almost $9.00 a pound; and half of that being salt, "Boned" may be an appropriate word to stamp on the box!

a.k.a. salted cod fish dip

Something I had encountered the week before at Toronto Taste, although this one was fried with slightly older oil (ergo the darker finish) and a cool caper aioli. My favourite bit was still the tripe ragu (which MB left mainly on the plate - yay for me. Heh).

Done Asian style in chilli oil with leek and fried shrimps.

 

From the diner Greifinn in Akureyri. Was there for lunch.

 

Fish is also traditionally dried for the winter in Iceland and finds itself into various Icelandic cuisines.

 

Not the most pleasant of dishes as I remembered that it was a tad salty!

Saturday bike ride to south of the river for an alfresco lunch.

 

Bacalhau grelhado (grilled salted cod) is probably the greatest of all ‘plain Jane’ dishes and it was good to savour this rustic classic again after such a horrid lockdown.
