Cod - Ingredient

Taste: Cod has a mild, slightly sweet taste that appeals to a wide range of palates. Unlike some stronger-tasting seafood, cod’s flavor is not overpowering, making it a favorite for those who prefer subtler fish flavors.

Texture: The flesh of cod is firm, moist, and flaky. When cooked properly, it almost melts in your mouth. Whether you bake, broil, grill, or poach it, cod retains its delightful texture.

Color: Raw cod flesh is translucent white (sometimes with a pinkish tinge for Atlantic cod) and remains white after cooking. Its appearance is clean and inviting, reflecting the ocean’s freshness.

Comparison: Cod is less firm and less sweet than haddock, another popular white fish. However, it holds its own in terms of flavor and versatility.
