About Cod, Pacific or Alaskan, frozen, wild caught
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), also called gray cod or true cod, is an important whitefish from the cold waters around the rim of the North Pacific, from Asia to Alaska and down the West Coast. A close relative of Atlantic cod, it has lean, firm white flesh with large, tender flakes and a mild, clean, slightly sweet flavor. Pacific cod is very low in fat and an excellent source of lean, high-quality protein, along with vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, and iodine.
Its mild taste and flaky texture make it wonderfully versatile, baked, broiled, pan-seared, poached, or battered for classic fish and chips, and it stars in chowders, tacos, and fish sandwiches. The flesh pairs well with almost any seasoning, from lemon and herbs to bold spices. Choose fillets that look moist and translucent with a clean, fresh smell, and store Pacific cod well chilled, using it within a day or two or freezing it.
