Fish and brewis
Fish and brewis is a traditional Newfoundland dish that consists of salted codfish and hardtack biscuits. The fish is boiled and then served with the biscuits, which have been soaked in water to soften them.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salted codfish
- 1 lb hardtack biscuits or salt fish buns
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion chopped, (optional)
- Parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Start by soaking the salted codfish in cold water overnight, changing the water a few times. This will help reduce the saltiness.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the soaked codfish and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the fish is tender and flakes easily. Drain the fish and set it aside, keeping it warm.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the hardtack biscuits or salt fish buns and let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes until they are soft but not mushy.
- Drain the biscuits and place them on a serving platter.
- Flake the cooked codfish into bite-sized pieces and place them on top of the biscuits.
- Optionally, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent. Drizzle the onions and butter mixture over the fish and biscuits.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
