Estocaficada · Nice
Estocaficada is the Nicois stockfish stew, dried cod rehydrated and slow cooked with tomato, olives, garlic, potatoes and herbs, the slow country dish of the Vieux Nice winter table.
Estocaficada (stockfish) came from the Nordic dried cod trade that arrived in Mediterranean ports through the medieval centuries. La Merenda under Dominique Le Stanc cooks the canonical Vieux Nice version, dried cod slowly rehydrated then stewed with tomato, olives, garlic and potatoes. The dish reads as Nicois rather than Provencal because of the heavy olive use and the absence of cream.
