This product, although little known in most of the Iberian Peninsula, is a gem of the tradition of cured fish from Murcia. The dry capellán is a whole small cod, also known as lily fish or small cod, that has been carefully gutted, washed with salt, and dried in the traditional way. This curing process preserves all the flavor of the sea, making it a delicacy appreciated in regions like San Pedro del Pinatar, the birthplace of the best cured fish.
To enjoy this product, it is necessary to burn it on a traditional stove or over an open fire, using a small torch. This preparation method enhances its flavor and makes it a delicious option for those seeking an authentic culinary experience. The dry capellán is perfect for pairing with other cured fish such as cured cod or cured sardine, as well as being part of a cured fish salad alongside mullet roe, tuna roe, and mojama.
This product has remained a well-kept secret among connoisseurs of Alicante cured fish and Murcians, where its intense flavor and unique texture have made it a favorite on many tables.
