Dried and salted cod, often called salt cod or clipfish,
is cod which has been preserved by drying after salting. Cod
which has been dried without the addition of salt is called stockfish.
The dying of food is the world's oldest known preservation method,
and dried fish has a storage life of several years. Traditionally,
salt cod was dried only by the wind and the sun, hanging on wooden
scaffolding or lying on clean cliffs or rocks near the seaside
