About Fish, cod, Atlantic, raw

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is one of the world's most important and beloved food fish, a cold-water saltwater fish with firm, snowy-white flesh that pulls apart into large, tender flakes. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor and lean meat have made it a kitchen staple across the North Atlantic for centuries. Cod is low in fat and a great source of high-quality protein, vitamin B12, iodine, selenium, and phosphorus.

Its clean taste suits almost any preparation: it is the classic fish for British fish and chips, baked or roasted with herbs and lemon, poached, pan-seared, or salted and dried into the traditional salt cod of Mediterranean and Caribbean cooking. The flaky fillets also turn up in chowders and fish cakes. Choose cod that looks moist and translucent with a clean, briny smell, and keep it well chilled, using fresh fillets within a day or two or freezing them.
