Gorton's Pub Style Cod Fillets
What it is
These are frozen cod fillets coated in a seasoned breading. They are designed to be cooked in an oven or air fryer, aiming to replicate the taste and texture of fish and chips from a pub. The fillets are made from white fish, known for its mild flavor and flaky texture. The coating provides a crispy exterior when cooked.
How people cook with it
These cod fillets are a convenient way to enjoy a seafood meal at home. They can be served as a main course or as part of a larger meal.

To prepare, preheat your oven or air fryer according to the package directions. Place the frozen cod fillets on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for the recommended time, flipping halfway through if necessary, until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through. Avoid overcooking to maintain the fish's moisture and flaky texture. Serve immediately for the best crispness.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other frozen fish fillets, Pub Style Cod often features a thicker, more seasoned breading that aims for extra crispiness. The type of fish used, cod, is generally milder and flakier than some other white fish options, contributing to its distinct texture.
