About the Fish: Cod


Biology: Cod (Gadus morhua) is a cold-water fish native to the North Atlantic. It lives along the coasts of North America and Europe, as well as in certain Arctic areas.


Nutrition & Taste: Cod is a white and lean fish, making it a good ingredient for assorted dishes. It’s also full of nutrients, including protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D, and minerals. Chefs and gastronomes alike appreciate its mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm, flaky texture.


Cooking: One of the great things about Cod is that you can bake, grill, fry, or pan-sear it and it keeps its firmness and mild flavor. Popular Cod dishes include baked Cod recipes and fish and chips.


Sustainability: Cod is a sustainable seafood choice when suppliers source it from well-managed fisheries, and there are generally lower mercury levels in Cod compared to its larger predatory counterparts. This makes Cod an eco-friendly and healthy fish to enjoy.
