Cod

Atlantic cod is one of the most widespread sea fish, caught primarily in the North Atlantic. Its white, firm, and lean flesh has a mild, slightly sweet flavour with minimal fishy smell, making it popular even among those who are not big fish fans. In the kitchen, cod is extremely versatile, it can be fried, baked, boiled, or grilled. It is a staple ingredient in British cuisine, most famously in fish and chips, as well as in many Mediterranean recipes. It is an excellent source of lean protein, iodine, selenium, and B vitamins. It is available fresh, frozen, smoked, or salted as dried salt cod.
