Cod Fish (cutlets)

The flesh of cod is bright white, flaky and delicate, with a mild flavour that has helped position it at the top of the charts when it comes to fish and chips. The meat is opaque white and remains white after cooking. Fillets of this fish are vertical cuts from the body, starting at the backbone and working down to the belly.

Nutritional Value:
Cod is a highly nutritious fish. In common with all white fish it provides significant amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals while being very low in calories and fat. Eating cod is good for your muscles, brain function, the immune system, your hair and skin, and cardiovascular health.  

Best Served:
*Versatile fish that lends itself to most methods apart from grilling, which is too fierce for its delicate, flaky flesh. Be careful not to overcook cod as it is more prone than other fish to drying out.
*Cod steaks, fillets and loins can be baked in the oven, pan fried, steamed and poached.
*If you're after a Mediterranean-style dish try baking fillets, loins or steaks with tomatoes and olives or rustle up a cod and chorizo stew
*If you're looking to do something that is easy on the digestive system, you can poach cod and serve it with parsley sauce
*If you've got a deep-fat fryer then try dipping cod fillets or loins in a beer batter and plunging them into the hot oil for a homely version of the classic fish and chips, served with lemon wedges and a liberal dollop of tartare sauce
