Hi PR, I have been living in the US for a while (long time follower!) and I was wondering where you purchase the cod from? Is this recipe using salted cod? (If using fresh fillets, what have you done to try to reproduce the salty taste?) Thank you so much!!

Absolutely as I remember these as a child growing up in South Africa close to a Portugues community. Can you recommend a simplie recipe book with Poertugues recipes please?
