Hold onto the fish from the nape of the neck – if the fish maintains almost level, it means the fish has a good cure.
When selecting your fish. Pay Attention and ensure the Bacalhau you are purchasing is clean and without dark spots. (not to be confused with dark shading which is due to curing) Brown and black spots indicate blood residue or guts may indicate an inadequately prepared and cured fish.
BomPorto brand Bacalhau known as Sr Bacalhau utilizes “Skrei” Norweigen cod. This is Gadus Morhua cod that caught during only the prime cod fishing months of January thru April during its optimum spawning and maturity which makes it exceptional.
This fish is never frozen and transported to the companies facilities in Aveiro Portugal an area of Portugal which has been handling and curing Bacalhau since the beginning. Here they are split, cleaned and undergo the curing process which involves at least 45 days in the salt and then air dried.

Local Only Items
While we service customers throughout the United States, we are located in Southern California and there are cost advantages to shipping to customers closest to us.
Expedited "Next Day" Shipping to outside this area will cost upwards of $100 per package. Due to lack of demand considering the expedited costs to ship these more perishable items outside of Southern California we have limited them to our area. We appologize.
IMPORTANT: IF SHIPPING TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OR HENDERSON / LAS VEGAS NEVADA AREA. IT WILL INSTEAD SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AND WILL LIKELY ARRIVE IN 1 DAY. (See this map if you are in the YELLOW AREA BELOW)
For that reason we have created a category of more perishable items which we will make available to customers in our closest ground shipping area.
Customers from San Diego to San Luis Obispo to Las Vegas, Nevada can enjoy ground (Next Day Shipping) at a much lower cost.
For customers outside this area interested in these more perishable products we encourage you to email us for request to ship to your area. Send emails to [email protected]
