### FRESHENING SALTED FISH

        Salted fish can be smoked, pickled or used in a variety

    of
      recipes,  but they need to be freshened in  cold  water

    first.
     Soaking in several changes of cold water for 8 to 48

    hours
     (according to taste), in the refrigerator,  should be

    sufficient.
     Should further freshening be desired,  put fish

    in
    cold water  to cover  and  just bring  to  a  boil;  then

    simmer.
      Cookery  methods  suitable  for  salt fish include

    broiling,
    frying,  baking in  milk  or cream,  simmering and

    creaming.
