Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacalao

    Soak the bacalao in cold water for 24-48 hours, changing the water every 8 hours to remove excess salt. After soaking, drain and flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Clams and Oysters

    Scrub the clams under cold running water to remove sand and grit. Rinse the oysters and keep them in their shells.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacalao

    Add the flaked bacalao to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Add Clams and Oysters

    Add the clams and oysters to the skillet. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the clams and oysters open up.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in freshly chopped parsley, lemon juice, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Serve immediately while hot.
