Codfish quotes by Edvard Grieg

Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
The man had no more romance in his soul than a codfish ~ Elizabeth Peters
Codfish quotes by Elizabeth Peters
As for what you're calling hard luck - well, we made New England out of it. That and codfish. ~ Stephen Vincent Benet
Codfish quotes by Stephen Vincent Benet
Cod meat has virtually no fat (.3 percent) and is more than 18 percent protein, which is unusually high even for fish. And when cod is dried, the more than 80 percent of its flesh that is water having evaporated, it becomes concentrated protein - almost 80 percent protein. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
Codfish aristocracy' is what they call us. Men who've made a fortune in business, but are common-born."
"Why codfish?"
"It used to refer to the rich merchants who settled the American colonies and made their money in the cod trade. Now it means any successful businessman."
"Nouveau riche is another term," Helen added. "It's never used as a compliment, of course. But it should be. Being self-made is something to be admired." As she felt his soundless chuckle, she insisted, "It is."
Rhys turned his head to kiss her. "You've no need to flatter my vanity."
"I'm not flattering you. I think you're remarkable. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Codfish quotes by Lisa Kleypas
The town of Lunenburg was built on a hill running down to a sheltered harbour. On one of the upper streets stands a Presbyterian church with a huge gilded cod on its weather vane. Along the waterfront, the wooden-shingled houses are brick red, a color that originally came from mixing clay with cod-liver oil to protect the wood against the salt of the waterfront. It is the look of Nova Scotia - brick red wood, dark green pine, charcoal sea. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
The codfish is a staple food For which I'm seldom in the mood. This fish is such an utter loss That people eat it with egg sauce. ~ Ogden Nash
Codfish quotes by Ogden Nash
Bishop on "At the Fishhouses"
At the last minute, after I'd had a chance to do a little research in Cape Breton, I found
I'd said codfish scales once when it should have been herring scales. I hope they
corrected it all right.

Quite a few lines of "At the Fishhouses" came to me in a dream, and the scene - which
was real enough, I'd recently been there - but the old man and the conversation, etc.,
were all in a later dream ~ Elizabeth Bishop
Codfish quotes by Elizabeth Bishop
You haggle like a crone with a codfish. ~ George R R Martin
Codfish quotes by George R R Martin
When the Basque whalers applied to cod the salting techniques they were using on whale, they discovered a particularly good marriage because the cod is virtually without fat, and so if salted and dried well, would rarely spoil. It would outlast whale, which is red meat, and it would outlast herring, a fatty fish that became a popular salted item of the northern countries in the Middle Ages. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
Unlike the male codfish which, suddenly finding itself the parent of three million five hundred thousand little codfish, cheerfully resolves to love them all, the British aristocracy is apt to look with a somewhat jaundiced eye on its younger sons. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Codfish quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
Politics and nationalism often play far greater roles than conservation in the decision-making process. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
Soon, things were heating up in the kitchen. The first course was a variation on a French recipe that had been around since Escoffier, Baccala Brandade. Angelina created a silky forcemeat with milk, codfish, olive oil, pepper, and slow-roasted garlic, a drizzle of lemon juice, and a shower of fresh parsley, then served it as a dip with sliced sourdough and warmed pita-bread wedges, paired with glasses of bubbly Prosecco.
The second course had been a favorite of her mother's called Angels on Horseback- freshly shucked oysters, wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto, then broiled on slices of herb-buttered bread. When the oysters cooked, they curled up to resemble tiny angels' wings. Angelina accented the freshness of the oyster with a dab of anchovy paste and wasabi on each hors d'oeuvre. She'd loved the Angels since she was a little girl; they were a heavenly mouthful.
This was followed by a Caesar salad topped with hot, batter-dipped, deep-fried smelts. Angelina's father used to crunch his way through the small, silvery fish like French fries. Tonight, Angelina arranged them artfully around mounds of Caesar salad on each plate and ushered them out the door.
For the fifth course, Angelina had prepared a big pot of her Mediterranean Clam Soup the night before, a lighter version of Manhattan clam chowder. The last two courses were Parmesan-Stuffed Poached Calamari over Linguine in Red Sauce, and the piece de resistance, Broiled Flounder with a Coriander Reduction. ~ Brian O'Reilly
Codfish quotes by Brian O'Reilly
Humanity, morality, decency, might be forgotten, but codfish must still be had for the use of the faithful in Lent and on fast days. ~ Francis Parkman
Codfish quotes by Francis Parkman
Massachusetts had elevated cod from commodity to fetish. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
Since the industrial revolution, Great Britain had been developing an ever-increasing market for groundfish - especially cod, haddock, and plaice - because fried fish, later fish-and-chips, became the favorite dish of the urban working class. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
I forget how many thousand eggs go wrong for one codfish that gets hatched. But as Berkeley said long ago, it is idle to censure the creation as wasteful if you believe in a creator who has unlimited stuff to play with. ~ Frederick Pollock
Codfish quotes by Frederick Pollock
People who know fresh cod - from the great restaurants of France, to British working-class fish shops, to the St. John's waterfront - all agree on three things: It should be cooked quickly and gently, it should be prepared simply, and, above all, it must be a thick piece. Only a large piece can be properly cooked. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
Where there are Norwegian communities, there are cod clubs. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Codfish quotes by Mark Kurlansky
He glanced nervously over his shoulder with a remarkable pair of codfish eyes.

'Like a 'orrid movie I saw once in Canarsie. Bunch o' lunks set off on a cruise to nowhere, just like this, and wot do you suppose they all was?'

'What?'

'Dead.'

'How?'

'Dead as mutton, only they didn't know it. ~ Rufus King
