Upstream Cods at Stockfish festival in Badalucco

In the last two days Upstream cods staff took some pictures at Stockfish festival in Badalucco. This is the cooking team

The dried cod from Badalucco, is a dish cooked according to an ancient and precious local recipe. The “Stoccafisso” used to be carried by boat to Porto Maurizio and delivered through the mule tracks to Badalucco, which acted as important exchange centre all over the Argentina Valley. A legend tells about Badalucco inhabitants who managed to resist to Saracens attack for long, thanks to a big dried cod stock. This event is commemorated every year, during the Dried-cod Cooking Festival. On the third Sunday of September the whole village lives again the Saracens attack through a popular Stockfish festival in Badalucco called Baucogna.
Upstream cods is our way to tell people the story, using pictures, about stockfish and salted cod, how these two products gets fished, prepared and presented to everyone’s table.
The meaning of Upstream Cods is to follow the full production chain backwards: we’ll start from Liguria’s festivals and restaurants concerned stockfish and salted cod, going upstream to the Lofoten islands, Norway, where the cods are fished and prepared to be sold to public, as we know it…be sure that we are also going to snoop around on how they are cooked in their native land. And, by the way, will photograph the natural beauty of these remote islands located beyond the Arctic Circle!
