About Bakalar na Bijelo
The Skradin tourism board shares this Šibenik family-cookbook version of bakalar na bijelo. It combines dried cod and potatoes with onion, parsley and olive oil, in a dish associated locally with Christmas Eve.
Cod provides the savoury centre, while onion and parsley bring aromatic freshness. Olive oil enriches the potatoes and the cooking liquid that accompanies the layers.
The presentation alternates pieces of potato and cleaned cod, with onion and parsley at the surface. The result is a layered plate with tender potatoes and moist fish.
