I went to the local fishmarket downtown after work yesterday. Down near the harbour the fishmarket has been situated for ages, I remember it from my childhood, though they did a great restauration some years ago. I try to go there at least every second week, and always find temptations. I sometimes make plans for what to buy, or what to look for before I go, more often I go with an open mind, to see what they have, to see what tempts me.
This time my eyes soon found the marinated cod, but it was only a few pieces left. No problem, fishmonger Ketil said, I'll make you some more, and soon I had five good pieces. Ketil grew up in the same neighbourhood as I did, and we always get a good chat when we meet. Mostly fish stories and how to make the best fish dishes.
I baked the cod filets in the oven, 200C for 40 minutes, and served them with small potatoes and a paprika salad.

I have connected music to my food for almost thre weeks now. I would like to hear from my readers what you think of this. Music plays a very important role in my life and it feels natural to combine it to my cooking, and I love to share it with you. Now I am curious to hear your responce.

Britt-can you explain to me what marinated torsk is? Is the fish marinated in a vinegar brine? Then, when you bake it, is it still vinegary in flavor? It is unfamiliar to me. Thanks. Susan
Susan, marinatde torsk means marinated cod. The fish filet was marinated by the fishmonger, I am not sure what he used. Oil, vinegar may be, and some herbs. You can see that the white fish is covered in a green sauce.
Thanks for the explanation I was also wondering what is marinated torsk.
