In detail

What it really is

Salted cod served with a cooked mixture of vegetables such as eggplant, okra and spinach, a familiar Antiguan pairing.

The fish and greens are brought together at serving, so the salted cod remains a clear part of the plate. Salt level depends on desalting and seasoning; check before serving guests who need a low-sodium option.

Salted cod needs desalting before cooking: soaking and changing the water reduces its saltiness, though the exact time depends on cut and curing. It is then flaked and served with the cooked vegetable mixture rather than dissolved into it. Chop-up is not a single standardized vegetable recipe; eggplant, okra, spinach and other available greens can be combined in different proportions. The Antigua pairing is familiar, but the vegetables, oil and seasoning vary by kitchen.
