Make sure you soak it for a really long time in Fresh water or milk!!

Soak it overnight to get rid of as much of the salt as possible. Mix together with a bit of mashed potatoes and onions and seasonings to taste and make into patties and fry up as fish cakes. They are great with a bit of malt vinegar.

Add salt pepper and a bit of hot peppers (opt) then add 4 tbsp heavy cream and cook until sause it nice and hot.
Put mased potatos on a plate put several pc of fish on top and cover with the sause and serve very good !!!! mmmm

Don't know of any, but have to share this story with you.
When I was in my second marriage around about 1981, my brother-in-law ordered a whole case of it from back east. It was shipped by mail, and somehow ended up at the bottom of a pile at the Campbell River post office, where it sat for about a week.
When he finally went to claim it, the folks at the post office had just about gone comletely south trying to figure out where the incrdible fish "stench" was coming from. It was priceless.
