🐟 Cod

Gadus morhua

A large white fish from cold seas that turns tender and white when it is cooked.

The cooked meat is bright white and separates into big, soft flakes.

Very mild and a little sweet, which makes it a favorite first fish for many kids.

Loaded with protein and low in fat, plus vitamins that help keep your body healthy.

Always serve it fully cooked, like baked, in fish sticks, or gently poached in soup until it flakes.

It lives in the cold waters of the northern ocean, where fishing boats bring it to shore.

You can find it fresh or frozen all year, and it is often sold as ready-to-cook fillets.

Cod has been an important food for hundreds of years and helped sailors on long ocean trips.

Cod is the white fish most often used to make the fish in fish-and-chips.

Try baked cod with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs and lemon for a light, tasty meal.
