Harvested in icy, pristine Alaskan waters, our top-quality Pacific cod
appeals to many tastes and works well in many culinary contexts.

This lean, low-calorie fish is firm and fully moist, with a large
flake.

The delicate, slightly sweet flavor of Pacific cod harmonizes with a wide
array of sauces and seasonings ... including our popular, versatile
Organic Marinade Mix. (See the Serving/Storage tab above.)

Strict official oversight combines with this species' natural fecundity to
keep Alaska's certified-sustainable Pacific cod fishery an abundant resource.



 
About Pacific Cod
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is closely related to Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua), with a similar, somewhat sweeter flavor and equally firm, flakey texture.

Pacific cod is also known as “gray cod” or “true cod”, to differentiate it from “Ling cod” (Ophiodon elongatus) and “Black cod” (Anoplopoma fimbria; AKA Sablefish), which are not members of the cod (Gadus) family.


Storage
Keep frozen at or below 0° F (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain its quality for at least six to 12 months. Shellfish and lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish).
NOTE: Seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.
 
Thawing
Thaw under refrigeration below 38° F (3° C). Use within 12 hours for best results. To quick-thaw, place unopened frozen package in cool water for 30 minutes or until fish is flexible.
 
Cooking and serving tips
  • Rinse fish quickly in cold, clean water.
  • Cook in a medium-hot lightly oiled pan, under a broiler, or on the grill for 7-8 minutes, until only the very center is still translucent.
  • Remove fish from heat and let it “self-cook” another two to three minutes, until just cooked through to center before serving.
  • NOTE: It is perfectly safe and healthful to serve our fish raw or partly cooked, because flash-freezing has rendered it 100% sushi-safe.
  • Enliven your fish entree with seasonings such as Vital Choice Organic Salmon Marinade Mix or other herb-spice blends.
  • Add the seasonings of your choice to a little olive oil and marinate the fish, refrigerated, for 30-60 minutes or overnight. Or, simply mist fish lightly with olive oil or macadamia nut oil and dust with seasonings before cooking.
