Hardtack with Salted Cod

A simple yet reliable travel staple, Hardtack with Salted Cod is a classic pairing in Skölna, designed to endure long journeys and harsh conditions. The thick, sturdy biscuits and chewy, preserved fish offer sustenance and durability, making them ideal for travelers and sailors.
Mild and slightly salty, with the cod providing a briny, chewy texture that contrasts with the dry, crumbly nature of the hardtack. It is often softened with water or paired with Iceberry Preserves for additional flavor.
This combination originated with Skölnii seafarers and hunters who needed compact, long-lasting provisions for extended trips. Salted cod became a staple due to its abundance and easy preservation, while hardtack, baked until nearly indestructible, complemented it as a filling and durable companion. Over centuries, this pairing became synonymous with Skölnii endurance and resourcefulness.
