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. As Emily Litella (Gilda Radner) might say: Never Mind
Man who mistake shillelagh for fairy wand; see pixie dust, also.

During the American Revolution period, salt cod was traded to Carribean islanders for molasses and rum whi h was shipped back to New England. It is still sold in their markets down there. There is a book called ‘Cod’ by Mark Kurlansky that delves into the long history of the fish . He also has another called ‘Salt’ and the 2 are closely tied.

So with dried fish? We made it with dried beef. You put it on toast or are talking two different things? 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. My dad was in the CCCs also many moons ago.Then he joined the merchant marines and then the marine corps after that.Chipped beef on toast is what we called SOS.We had it a lot when I was a kid.We also ate salted cod but we called it pesce stocco or baccala.We baked it in the oven with potatoes and veggetables.Any Italian import store had it here in wooden barrels.Used to be cheap,,not any more.
