Finally after cooking it for 10 yrs or so, i learned what it is that makes the difference. 1st of all use a pot that will give enough space for the log to 'breath'. 2nd, it depends on how long you cook the fish. An hour of high boil will give you stiff fish, longer cooking time with more of a simmer will give you soft more watery. Play around with the timing and intensity of the boil and see how you like it best! Good Luck Malk
