The fish has been soaking the night prior. Whenever a Newfoundlander says “fish” he is referring to cod fish. If he is talking about other types of fish, he will call it by name.
Today for dinner, I was able to enjoy a great meal of Fisherman’s Brewis.
The recipe is simple, yet big on delivery. You need hard tack (Famous Purity Hard Bread). This should be soaked in cold water until soft. We used three cakes for our meal. We had some already filleted cod, so we did not need to be as worried about the bones. One must fry fat port until a little brown.
- Preparing Fisherman’s Brewis
Cook fish, add the hard bread and mash it all together and served. This meal can be cooked within a short 20 minutes.

This is a treat to the standard brewis on Sunday, when hot dinner is not being served.

There is truly something great about Living Rural and enjoying traditional recipes that have been mainstays of Rural Life for centuries.
That is fat “pork” (not port), pork as in pig . ..
