BERMUDA SALT COD FISH BREAKFAST

Bermuda Salt Cod Fish Breakfast image

This dish is one of many in Bermuda that is loved by the locals, but avoided like the plague by the majority of foreigners, as many visitors almost seem to be unwilling to try anything 'different'. As it takes a while to prepare, it is usually served on a weekend or special occasion, such as the annual Cup Match celebration or Bermuda Day. On these days you can often walk down the streets and smell this being prepared in many kitchens.
