Traditional Dried Fish

Cultural Context

Dried fish has a long history in American coastal communities, where preserving fish was essential for survival. Traditionally, fishermen would salt and dry their catch to extend its shelf life, making it a staple in many households. In modern times, dried fish is enjoyed in various cuisines and can be found in markets across the country, often used in soups and stews or served as a protein-rich snack.
