What it is

These versatile cod fillets are a great base for many dishes.

To prepare, thaw the cod fillets completely in the refrigerator. For baking, place them on a baking sheet, season with your favorite herbs and spices, and bake until opaque and flaky. When pan-searing, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the fillets for a few minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the fish is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Compared to fresh cod, frozen fillets offer extended shelf life and convenience. The freezing process helps preserve the texture and flavor, and they are often already portioned, saving preparation time. They are a reliable option when fresh cod is not available.
