Steps

60 mins

1

Soak the cod in cold water for 24 hours, skin face up, changing the water every few hours or so.
2

Drain the cod from the water. Bring to the boil a pot of water and add the cod, cook for 15 minutes. Drain the water and allow the cod to cool enough to handle then shred and de-bone. Place to on side to be used later.
3

Place the oil in a non-stick pan in a medium to high heat and add the onions, bay leaves, garlic and pepper. Stir making sure it doesn't burn. Fry the onions until brown or soft.
4

Add the cod and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring making sure it doesn't burn.
5

Divide the parsely into two halves, add 1st half to the cod.
6

Add the vinegar and stir (you can add more or less depending on your taste).
7

Take it off the heat and rest it to one side.
8

Fry the chips in a deep fat fryer, ensuring they are nice and crispy. take some of the fat out by dabbing the chips with some kitchen roll.
9

Add the chips to the pan as you go long frying.
10

Place pan back on heat and mix it all together.
11

Add the eggs.
12

Check seasoning, (add salt and more vinegar if not to taste)
13

Add the remaining parsly and serve immediately.
14

Eat on its own or add a salad of your choice. I also like to eat it with green and black olives mixed together in the cod.
