Chiquetaille: Cod Fish Salad Recipe

First, soak the cod in cold water in the refrigerator for 24 hours, changing the water 3 times during that period.

Once soaked, bring enough water to a boil in a large pot to cover the fish. Add the cod and boil for about 20 minutes, until it flakes easily.

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cod with the finely diced onion, shallots, garlic, carrots, green beans, bell peppers, and jalapeño. Pour in the olive oil and vinegar, then add the cloves, salt, and pepper.

Mix everything thoroughly, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 days. This long marination time is key for the flavors to fully develop.
