FOR CHIQUETAILLE
In a large saucepan, place the cod. Fill the pot with water, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours to desalinate the fish, changing the water once or twice.

Drain the cod and return it to the pan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic, onion and parsley. Cut the cucumbers, bell pepper and carrot into small dice. Thinly slice the green onion. Place the vegetables in a large airtight container.

Squeeze the limes into the container and pour in the oil. Pepper generously.

Using two forks, break up the cod into flakes and add it to the container with the vegetables. Mix and store in the refrigerator until serving.

FOR ASSEMBLY
Preheat barbecue on high to approximately 290°C (550°F) (see NOTES).

If desired, remove the seeds from the habanero pepper and chop finely. Book.

In a small bowl, place the oil, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Pepper generously and mix.

Cut the baguette in half lengthwise, then in half along the thickness to obtain 4 pieces. Spoon the spice mixture over the buns.

Place the buns on the barbecue grill, cut side down. Cook, 2 or 3 minutes, until the bread is golden brown, with the lid open.

Cut each piece of bread into thirds, garnish with chiquetaille and habanero pepper, if desired. Serve.

END NOTES
For salt cod: it is an ingredient widely used in Haitian cuisine since it is economical, easy to cook and can be stored for a long time. The fish is first immersed in a brine, then dried for several days. You can find salt cod in most supermarkets and fishmongers or in Caribbean grocery stores.

For baking: when camping, you can bake bread on a campfire. Make sure the fire has been on for a while so you have a nice ember. Position the grill near the embers, but avoid placing the bread directly above the flames so that it does not burn.
