Cod is a white sea fish with large tender flakes and a mild, slightly sweet flavour. The flesh is lean, so it turns dry if pushed past the point where the flakes separate. Take it off the heat as soon as it flakes and it stays juicy.

At the Barnes counter we cut cod into fillet portions to the size you want, skin on for the pan or skinned for pies and poaching, pin-boned by hand. A thicker portion from the loin end holds together in the pan and carries a batter without breaking up.

Bake it at 180C for 10 to 12 minutes, pan-fry skin-side first for a crisp skin or poach it in milk as the base for a parsley sauce.

Origin, cooking and recipe

Origin and species

Atlantic cod is a white sea fish with large tender flakes and a mild, slightly sweet flavour. The flesh is lean, which is why it turns dry if pushed past the point where the flakes separate.

How to cook it

Take cod off the heat as soon as it flakes and it stays juicy. A thicker portion from the loin end holds together in the pan and carries a batter without breaking up. Bake it at 180C for 10 to 12 minutes, pan-fry skin-side first for a crisp skin or poach it in milk as the base for a parsley sauce.

Recipe

From the Journal: beer-battered cod and cod loin traybake with tomatoes and chorizo.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. Fresh cod freezes well for up to three months. Wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight.
