[Sca-cooks] salt cod

[Terry Decker]

"Salt cod" is used both in the specific and as a generic term for salt 
preserved fish, usually related to the cod.  Ling, haddock, pollack and 
whiting are general terms for a number of species related to the cod and 
when dried and salt packed would fall under the term salt cod.
