Soak the cod in water overnight in the refrigerator, changing the water several times. Drain and rinse well. Place the cod in a large saucepan and add the boiling water. Simmer over moderate heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cod flakes easily. Drain and rinse well, and flake into small pieces, removing any bones and bits of skin.
