Esqueixada is a traditional Catalan salad prepared with cod as the main ingredient. Other ingredients may vary, but tomatoes, onions, red peppers, and olive oil are most commonly used. Cod should first be desalted, then flaked between the fingers, hence the name esqueixada, derived from esqueixar, meaning to tear.

This Catalan summertime staple is sometimes garnished with hard-boiled eggs and black olives before serving.
