Question, you say 1lb of soaked cod. Does that mean salted cod that has been soaked? If yes is it 1lb after soaked? Can I use frozen code instead of salted cod?

reply
Yes, salted cod that has been presoaked, and no, 1lb of cod in general. You can use frozen but it won't be as tasty as salt cod Steve.
