Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the suggestion,  Kurlansky mentions codfish which is a beheaded
and salted cod. I'm interesting in the way they processed fishes (beheaded
or not). They are historic references about salted and smoked fishes in
Yucatan but I'm having difficulties finding references that could indicate
which species or what butchering methods are implied so I can compare them
with my zooarchaeological data and the few modern examples in the region.

Thanks and all the best,
