📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pipi is Greenland's traditional dried fish: cod, halibut, capelin, and the like are split open and left out in cold, dry wind. A preserved food for the long winter, it's peeled into thin strips and eaten as is or with butter.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a seaside village in Greenland, split fish hang in rows from wooden poles, swaying in the Arctic wind.
