Please continue to the recipe for Pan Fried Cod Tongues.

The key to prefect pan fried cod tongues is to have your cast iron frying pan or regular non stick frying pan HOT.

Then fry them in butter, oil or fat pork/ fatback, never only butter because it will start to burn and smoke up your pan.

Cod tongues is the type of food you like them or you don’t!

Stewed Cod — **Fat pork frying until into scrunchin’s**

Cod tongues are nice and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside….

Some people like them deep fried to have that extra crispy texture. Our elders would like to fry them it pieces of fat pork until fried into “scrunchin’s” that’s crispy.

Anyway you make them they will still taste lovely, also you can make a dipping sauce for them.

Ok….lesson learned. This family, despite Newfoundland roots, does not like cod tongues. It’s a texture thing, not a recipe thing.
