Camasi Foods premium stockfish is a versatile and flavorful ingredient perfect for traditional and contemporary dishes. Our Stockfish products consist of Norwegian wild-caught salt water cod fish that has been naturally dehydrated. No added salt or preservatives has been used. The cleaned fresh fish with head and entrails removed are hung on wooden racks to dry in natural fresh cold air (January – May). It takes approximately three to five months, during which up to 70%-80% of the water or more is removed and the essential vitamins and nutrients are retained. This dehydrated fish has now  acquired its own  peculiar flavor/taste that is totally different from the fresh cod fish flavor. The nutritional value of 1 pound of stockfish is the same or close to 5 pound of fresh fish. Stockfish is one of the richest known sources of Iron, B-Vitamins and Protein. Stockfish can be adapted to suite most tastes and palates. When adequately soaked, the fish can regain its original weight and the flesh becomes softer. It has a very pungent smell when cooked. The fish can be cooked in the same way as fresh cod-fish (poached, fried, creamed or grilled), and can be used in a wide variety of nutritional and tasty dishes. When stored in a dry, non-humid and cool place, stockfish can be kept for several years without the need for freezing or refrigeration.
