Cod is a low-fat fish. It is very common in many regions of Europe, and there are thousands of recipes known for this fish.
Cod is widely used during the Christmas season, as traditional recipes are prepared with it that delight the palates of many diners.
Cod can mainly be of two types: oceanic species and more coastal species. They differ in size and also in the flavor of the meat. Their habitats are very different, as is their reproduction. A clear example of this is that oceanic cod usually matures after 6 years, while coastal cod matures much earlier and can reproduce from its second year of life. Common cod, like many other fish, approach the coast to spawn and reproduce. Depending on the female, it usually lays between half a million and six million eggs, although these do not usually survive the 3 weeks, as other fish feed on these eggs rich in Omega-3.
Tips for preparing and preserving cod
- Whenever we are going to have blue fish, we must keep in mind that if we freeze it, we must remove all the entrails and leave it clean. Otherwise, due to the high fat content, the texture and flavor are altered.
- If we are going to consume it from one day to the next, one way to store cod in the refrigerator is to wrap it in aluminum foil, sprinkling salt on each piece and keeping it cold.
- The cut of the cod is very important, as the type of cut made, how it is cleaned, and which parts of the meat are selected will determine whether the flavor is more or less intense, and therefore, better or worse.
- To avoid fish odors, there are several tricks; the smell when cooking fish can be unpleasant, so we leave you a tip to remove the fish smell from utensils and for hands, the traditional remedy of lemon.
