Bakaliaro Tiganito ( Fried Salt-Cod )

  1 1/2 lb Dried salt cod                      1 pn Salt
  1 1/4 c  All-purpose flour                 1/4 ts Baking powder
    2/3 c  Cold water                               Vegetable oil for frying

  Cut the cod into 4-inch sections.  Place in a glass or earthenware
  bowl, cover with cold water, and soak overnight.  The next day, drain
  and discard the water.  Put the cod in a pot and cover with cold
  water.  Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and lift out the
  cod with a slotted spoon. Remove the bones and the black skin.

  In a medium bowl, combine the flour, water, salt, and baking powder
  to make a thin batter.  Dip the cod in batter and fry in hot oil
  (about 1/2 inch deep) on both sides, then lower heat and cook until
  tender, turning once again.  Serve hot, with skordalia, which is cold
  or room temperature.

  Note: If the cod is excessively salty, change water 2 or 3 times
  during the soaking period.
