You have to soak it first 24/48 hours. Changing the water 4/5 times. This is a crucial Step. Then cook it as you would want it, saute, battered and deep fried or poached

A lot of the Bacalao sold now is “punta del Sal”. That means you can cook it straight from the packaging. The old fashioned dried salt cod is getting rare and needs a huge amount of preparation. The current fish is just brined, not dried.

I much prefer fresh cod but it’s not so common. Mercadona have some nice fresh cod but they are a bit small. It will become in short supply because most of it is caught by the Russian factory ships in Arctic waters. Same with Haddock but they don’t sell that in Spain.

Bread crumbs(Panko are great) or a very light batter, like a pakora batter.
