    To make these dishes with Salt fish (Dried Salted Cod, a.k.a. Baccaloa), do this:
  • Boil 1 lb. boneless salt fish in a saucepan with fresh water. When the fish is cooked, pour off water.
  • Pour fresh cold water onto the fish and remove the skin, if you bought skin on cod fish. Pour off cold water and then flake the fish with a fork.
  • Add the fish to the sautéed onions and tomatoes before adding ackee/calllaoo respectively.
