Stoccafisso accomodato is soaked stockfish stewed in a terracotta pot with potatoes, olives, capers, pine nuts, tomato, garlic and parsley, a winter dish of the old port city of Genoa.

The port of Genoa was already among the most important in the world in the Middle Ages, and the city's tourist office explains that when fresh fish was scarce in winter, Genoese sailors relied on stockfish, dried cod that kept for months. Stockfish has been known in Liguria since the 17th century through trade with the Portuguese, and the region lists stoccafisso among its traditional food products; accomodato, stewed with olives and potatoes, is its best-known Genoese form.
