Receta Whitefish Brandade

by Frank Fariello

Salt cod can be hard to find. It takes some considerable time to prepare and, plus, codfish stocks are dangerously depleted. So what is a brandade maven like myself to do? Well, I recently "invented" a new dish by using smoked whitefish--something you can fish in almost any grocery or supermarket here in the States--to make brandade. The result was different but, to my taste, equally delicious.
