Its expensive and takes a huge while to desalt so im sticking with the cheap fish like hake whiting mackerel and maybe squid

it seems like shittier version of bonito flakes

They are literally two completely different things for very different applications.

>>21757345
fish you soak in water for its delicious juices?

>>21757346
Yes. People take bacalhau and eat it like serrano ham.. exactly.

>>21757346
That's stockfish. Saltcod isn't quite the same thing though stockfish can indeed be made from cod. The use-case is different.
>>21757314
Yes.

>>21757323
have you tried eel? it's cheap where i am and very tasty

I saw it on a menu once and remembered it from The Sopranos, so I ordered it

>>21757346
for preparing stockfish and salted cod, you have to soak them for a few days in water, but the water has to be changed many times and discarded. After the soaking, you'll end up with cod fillets that taste very different compared to fresh cod, because they basically had a fermentation process when they were cured.
So, they have very little to do with bonito flakes, except for the fact that they are both dried fish.

When I went to Naples earlier this year I made sure to try it because of the Sopranos. It was pretty damn good.

Pilled is the dumbest suffix that I've seen since 'gate'.

most of that stuff is produced in Norway

>>21757346
Bacalhau water is just very salty water. You discard the water and eat the desalted fish. You're retarded

stockfish is my favourite bar-snack

>>21758585
although a lot comes from Norway, the prices are a bit odd
fish for bacalao: 40 per kg
pre-made bacalao: 17 per kg
stockfish snacks: 266 per kg
stockfish snack for dogs: 30 per kg
i guess because we sent alot of the "waste fish" down to Nigeria or somewhere like that

As I said bonito flakes are better.

i enjoy jarred anchovies, which impart a similar level of fishy-saltiness. and they're widely available.

they're for different use cases
bonito flakes are only good in the context of making a stock "that has as delicate flavour" (doesn't taste much) for your weeb soup or as topping for your weeb rice
if you want to make a meal where the main protein comes from fish, bonito flakes are possibly the most retarded thing to use, except for something that's not fish
