WHAT DOES SALT COD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

salt cod

Dried and salted cod

Dried and salted cod or salt cod is cod which has been preserved by drying after salting. Cod which has been dried without the addition of salt is stockfish. Salt cod was long a major export of the North Atlantic region, and has become an ingredient of many cuisines around the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean. With the sharp decline in the world stocks of cod due to overfishing, other salted and dried white fish are sometimes labeled as "salt cod", so the term has become to some extent a generic name. Dried and salted cod has been produced in Norway, Newfoundland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands for over 500 years. Traditionally it was dried outdoors by the wind and sun, but today it is usually dried indoors with the aid of electric heaters.
