Smoked, dried and salted whited fish. Place the fish in a shallow pan and strain in enough fish stock to barely cover the fish. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer gently.

Fresh fish breaks up and becomes quite tasteless when boiled .
Use enough water to cover the fish . Add vinegar, salt and some peppercorns. Lower the fish into the water in muslin or foil so it can easily be removed when cooked . Do use a large container or afish kettle if fish is cooked whole. Place in boiling water and then simmer for 8-15 minutes .
