When I was a kid my folks would get a pretty good sized box of dried salted codfish that made darn good SOS gravy. Anybody know where a guy can still find it?

Call some Scandinavian food stores in Seattle (Ballard) they should be able to send some to you; especially at this time of year with Christmas just around the corner.

Here, try this place; https://www.scanspecialties.com/ I know they have it and they will mail it to you, don't know the price though. You might want to call around some other places too, try some stores in Poulsbo WA, probably find it there too.

Some of it may actually be from 50 yrs ago. It doesn't have a maximum shelf life, ya knowa.

I was never much of a cod fish eater. I never tried the salted cod.

SOS was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. I remember the salt cod being a cheaper option than now days, sorta po folk food. I haven't bought any in years now. Used to get these small wooden boxes of it. The box had dovetail corners.

So with dried fish? We made it with dried beef. You put it on toast or are talking two different things?

Yes, on toast or bread. Same as SOS. I loved it as a kid. But then I ate what there was, not what I wanted!

Very common where I live. A great way to eat it is to rehydrate it for about 24 hours changing the water now and then to get the salt out, then mix it with some sliced boiled potatoes and green onions with some oil and vinegar as a cold salad.

They also eat it hopt in a tomato and pepper sauce.

The Basques were some of the first to fish the north atlantic and they still use the same technique of salting. It is called Bacalao.

Cod prices are up. I prefer it over halibut and fishing cod has been a great way to make extra money until stocks collapsed here in the gulf. Used to see hundreds of pallets of salted fillets in warehouses in Dutch weeping liquid. Europe is the biggest market Spain especially. Like swift4me says, it’s still traditional food there. Curious how much it costs over there.

Yes, that "Chipped beef on toast" was the original SOS. My biological father used to feed me that. He learned to make it while in the CCC's. I love that stuff as much as codfish gravy......that is what we originally called the codfish stuff. We always (or "alus" as my Grandad said)ate that on toast as well, and after time we just called that SOS too.

I'm assuming we are talking about "lutefisk" here. If so, it is the most disgusting rotten smelling crap I have ever been forced to endure. You don't see it much anymore simply because there are ways of preserving food nowadays without destroying it.

Lutefisk is dried with lye. Different from salt cod.
