Description
Stockfish is a type of air-dried fish, traditionally made from cod, though haddock, pollock, and other white fish can also be used. Unlike other preserved fish products that rely on salting or smoking, stockfish is dried naturally in the open air, often on wooden racks, using only cold air and wind. This method of preservation has been practiced for centuries, especially in Norway, where the cool, dry climate provides ideal conditions for drying fish without spoilage.
The drying process can take several weeks to months, during which the fish loses most of its water content but retains its nutrients, resulting in a lightweight, protein-rich, and long-lasting food source. Stockfish has a firm texture and a strong, distinctive flavor that intensifies when rehydrated during cooking.
It is widely used in African, European, and Caribbean cuisines, often added to soups, stews, and sauces for its rich umami taste. Beyond its culinary importance, stockfish has historical significance as a vital trade commodity, sustaining communities and connecting cultures through food for centuries.
