Soak the cod in water for 24 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt.

In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the soaked cod. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until tender.

Remove the cod, reserving the cooking water, and let it cool. Flake the fish into bite-sized pieces, discarding skin and bones.

In a large bowl, tear the stale bread into pieces and add a pinch of salt and black pepper.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped garlic and onion until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the reserved cooking water to the pan and bring to a simmer.

Pour the hot liquid over the bread, stirring to combine and allow it to absorb the liquid for about 5 minutes.

Add the flaked cod, chopped coriander, and a splash of vinegar. Mix well to combine.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and gently stir them into the mixture until they are just set, about 2-3 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed.

Serve hot, garnished with additional olive oil, paprika, and lemon wedges.
