How to make what they call Pine Cod. 



To prepare cod in this manner, when the fifti 

 is more than half dry, it is laid out on the ftrand 

 in cloudy weather, with the flelhy part upper- 

 moil. Having imbibed ibme moiflure, it is laid in 

 heaps for fome days, whereby it grows warm and 

 tender, after which, it is expofed to the funfhine, 

 until it becomes quite dry. It acquires a fort of 

 fmoaky colour, but it is more delicate than white 

 cod, although the people of the Levant prefer the 

 white kind. 



As this preparation depends upon a light fer- 

 mentation, it is plain, that cod, which has been 

 heaped up, before it was well dried, becomes ten- 

 der and delicate in the fame manner ; on which 

 account, at the unloading of the cargoes, there 

 is often found fome pine cod, though it had not 

 been prepared intentionally.
