Suely Martins already buys fish for Christmas
The more than three months to Christmas, there are already consumers buying cod for suppers year-end. The reason is the high inflation, mainly caused by soaring dollar. As the product is imported, traders from the State Supply Centre Guanabara (CADEG), in Benfica, in the North Zone of Rio, estimate an increase of 14% to 20% in the cost of the product until December, due to the currency fluctuation American.
So buyers as the retired nursing assistant Suely Martins, 64, prefer to ensure the product on the table and the economy in times of crisis and tightening in his pocket. Lest the price of the fish becomes more expensive in the coming months, we bought two and a half kilos of cod in CADEG last week, which will be frozen.
- I never bought so far in advance. The kilogram is R $ 45 (Gadus morhua, considered by top specialists). Let to buy the cod in the nick of time, it will be much worse.

According Valdemi Vieira, a partner store Tilim Distributor Food in CADEG, people with better financial planning already hold food suppers of Christmas and New Year:
- The trend is the price of cod increase about 20% by December, not only because of the dollar, but also increased demand.
Roberto Martins, owner of Olive Serrano Mirandela provides a smaller high of 14%.
- I'm paying (the supplier) R $ 42 per kilo cod. The price should rise to R $ 48 by December. Those who buy now will make a good deal - bet.
Traders also advise the purchase of other imported products such as wines and olive oils, whose prices should also rise due to the US currency.
Even without desalting
Valdemi Vieira, the Tilim, store in CADEG explains that cod can be frozen both the way it is purchased and after being salted, but many people prefer to freeze after removing the salt.
Cookies
To be desalted, it should be with the skin side up. All types are used to make cookies, but the most used is Saith. Concerning consistency, Gadus morhua is the softer than the port.
