As a child I can honestly say that I really didn’t like salt-fish (Salted Codfish) because I was always scared of swallowing bones but now I realize that there were never a huge amount of bones to begin with ( I think it was all in my head).
Mori and banann bouyi which is salt-fish and boiled plantain is a meal that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I don’t have a specific time that I like to eat it, I basically have it whenever.
Some tips that I can offer when embarking on this recipe is this: It is very important to properly de-salt your fish or else you will have a super salty end product so please follow the directions as described in the recipe.
I had my salt-fish and boiled plantains with salad and boiled potatoes, my mother sometimes eats hers with boiled yams.
As I mentioned before, I was never a huge fan of salt-fish but now I love it and I hope this recipe will make you love it too.
