>Who had the brilliant idea to do it, the first time? Like, someone was sitting, staring at a cod, bored by cod, cod, and more cod, and they had the little light bulb go on, "I know! I'll soak this fish in lye, dry it out, and make it tasteless, with a weird texture!
:-)
I think a plausible explanation could be that the lye conserves the fish and the drying as well. It is maybe more easily stored as a sterile dry piece of 'tissue', at least in the old days. My father use to say: 'I would never eat it, it's rotten fish!'(in Swedish of course).
