Our Top Selling Saltfish Items
Superb quality, consistency and flavor — our salted fish has become the Gold Standard among connoisseurs throughout the United States and Caribbean Islands.
In 1971, CFE began producing salted fish under the Cristobal brand using a technique known as kenching or dry-salting — a preservation technique dating back to the late 1600s in New England. By adhering to this age-old tradition, we have grown to become the leading distributor of salted Cod and Pollock in the US. More about history of saltfish >
Salted Cod and Pollock
— A Living Tradition —
With its rich New England legacy, Cristobal Salted Cod is our original brand of salted fish. Deliciously firm with large white flakes, it holds up well during cooking and retains its unique salt flavor.
Considered the “real deal,” Cristobal Salted Cod is highly popular among traditional consumers of salted fish, with old-world recipes passed from one generation to the next. Wild-caught — never farm-raised, Cristobal is often found at the holiday dinner table during Easter, Lent, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Cristobal brand is available in the following sizes:
• Cristobal Salted Cod: 1 lb. wooden box; 1- and 2-lb. bags; in fillets or chunks.
• Cristobal Salted Pollock: 1 lb. bag of fillets or chunks.

Salted Pollock
— Everyday value —
For those customers who buy salted fish as their everyday “go to” fish protein — or for anyone looking to give salted fish a try — Buena Ventura Salted Pollock is an ideal choice.
It’s lighter and less dense than Cod, yet when soaked properly, it retains its lovely light salted flavor. Like Cristobal, it’s always wild-caught, never farm-raised. Less expensive than Cod, it’s become very popular in major cities across the US.
The Buena Ventura brand is available in 8 oz., 16 oz., and 5 lb. bags of fillets and chunks.
