Kokotxas in Salsa Verde

Known in the Basque Country as Kokotxas, these gelatinous fish throats are a very sough after ingredient in Basque kitchens. Kokotxas normally come from either hake or cod and they are in essence the throat of the fish, an off cut from right under the gills of the fish that years ago used to be discarded and these days in considered to be a delicacy on the plate. One of the most classic ways to serve kokotxas are in a salsa verde sauce. This classic Basque sauce works really well with any type of white fish or seafood but the marriage with kokotxas is incredible. The delicate silky flavour of the kokotxas combines perfectly with the simplicity of a garlic and parsley sauce.
