Recipe Tips

Ensure the cod is soaked long enough to remove excess saltiness, ideally for at least 12 hours, changing the water a couple of times. This will enhance the flavor and prevent the dish from being overly salty.
When frying the potatoes, cut them into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Consider parboiling them for 5-7 minutes before frying to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp; they should only take 2-3 minutes to cook through. Adding them to the pan when the cod is almost done will ensure they remain tender and juicy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use as a substitute for cod in this recipe?

You can substitute cod with other firm white fish such as haddock, halibut, or tilapia. Salmon can also be used for a richer flavor, but it will change the overall taste of the dish.

How should I store leftovers from this recipe?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in an oven or microwave until heated through, making sure not to overcook the fish.

What if I don't have whiskey for the shrimp?

You can substitute whiskey with dry sherry, white wine, or even chicken broth for a similar flavor profile. If you prefer not to use alcohol, simply omit it and add a little extra lemon juice for acidity.
