Boggems refer to small, whole mullet that are salted and dried. Boggems a bit tough to just chew on, but they can be reconstituted and cooked into something like the Portuguese Bacalhau, which makes them far more palatable. It needs an acquired taste, before Boggems taste can be appreciated. Mullet is also called "harder" in South Africa.
