Fish and Brewis Preparation

Fish and brewis (pronounced brews ) is one of the oldest traditional dishes of Newfoundland. … The fish in Fish and Brewis is salt cod and the brewis is made from hardtack or hardbread, which is avilable everywhere in Newfoundland and in specialized grocery stores across Canada. The dish is always sprinkled with scrunchions, crisp fried bits of salt pork. Fisherman’s Brewis is sometimes the same as Fish and Brewis, but often the fish and bread are chopped while hot and mixed together, or fresh cod is used instead of salt cod. Cut cod into serving-size pieces. Soak cod and hardbread separately in cold water for 8 hours or overnight. Drain fish. In saucepan, cover fish with cold water. Heat to boiling and boil gently for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain. Meanwhile, in skillet, fry salt pork until golden.
