This is true for many of us, but not all. Personally, I agree, but
there are people who for reasons of faith do not agree (yes, even
about garlic).
There is a particular dish of salt cod in olive oil made in Portugal
that is incredibly good. I don't recall the name of it but the
softened cod is seasoned and then placed in olive oil, the cod is
then swirled around gently (NOT mixed with a spoon) for a long time
until the oil and the fish start to come together in a thick sauce of
sorts. It is delicious with a good crusty bread.
I've also had salt cod in Mexico that was served with a delicious
sauce of tomatoes, onion, chilies and herbs.
