Savor Newfoundland's classic Fish and Brewis with crispy Scruncheons - a delectable salt cod and bacon dish bursting with flavor from Eastern Canada.
Ingredients:
  • 2 hard bread cakes, such as Purity®, split horizontally
  • 1 pound salt cod steaks, skinned and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 pound fatback, diced
Instructions:
  • In a pot, submerge hard bread under cool water, cover, and let soak for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Rinse the salt cod under cold running water, then place it in a pot. Cover the fish with cold water, making sure it's submerged by several inches. Seal the pot with a lid and let it soak in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Season soaked bread with salt and gently bring to a light simmer over medium-low heat. Let simmer for 2 minutes. Drain promptly and cover to retain warmth.
  • Drain the fish and cover it with fresh water, then bring it to a boil. Cook for around 20 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Drain the fish again and remove any bones before stirring it into the prepared hard bread.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, cook fatback until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pour fatback and drippings over fish and bread mixture, gently stir to combine, and serve immediately.
