What is smoked cod?
Smoked cod is cod that has undergone a process of salting, curing, and cold smoking. This process enhances the flavor of the fish, imparts very delicate smoky notes, and maintains a firm yet succulent texture, similar to other high-end smoked products.

The smoked cod carpaccio comes pre-sliced very thinly, perfect for placing on a plate, dressing with extra virgin olive oil, a few drops of lemon or lime juice, pepper, and, if you like, pickles or sliced vegetables. It's an appetizer that can be assembled in 2 minutes and looks restaurant-quality.
Loins and flakes of smoked cod in oil
Smoked cod in oil comes in slightly thicker pieces, ideal for toast, salads, and smoked fish platters. The oil protects the product and enhances its flavor, so it can also be used to dress salads or roasted vegetables .

Traditional desalted cod is mainly used in hot dishes (pil-pil, baked, Biscayan style, etc.). Smoked cod , on the other hand, is intended for cold consumption : carpaccios, toasts, salads, and appetizers, where that smoky flavor and a more delicate texture are desired.
