Well, I went to SOAR, and found one only recipe for lutefisk, a
Scandinavian delicacy? most Scandahoovions I know, and I do know a
bunch, would not touch this stuff with a ten meter pole, which is three
times longer than a ten ft pole...ya there Chas?? But perhaps it might
add to the discussion in your school room....WARNING...if you find this
stuff, do not take it unless you de odorize it first, salt fish
stinks!Also. our Canadian Newfies eat salt cod(when they can get it) as
the Hawaains do, when they can get it. Unfortunately, our Canadian east
coast cod fisheries are a thing of the past, I only hope that our West
coast salmon does not follow suit...Cheers, Doug in BC
