Pub Style Cod Burger
What it is
This is a pre-formed patty made from cod, designed to resemble the burgers often found in pubs. It is typically coated in a breadcrumb or batter mixture, giving it a crispy exterior when cooked. The cod itself is a white fish known for its mild flavor and flaky texture. These burgers are usually sold frozen, making them a convenient option for a quick meal. They offer a seafood alternative to traditional meat burgers.

To prepare, you can cook these cod burgers from frozen. Baking in a preheated oven is a common method, where they are placed on a baking sheet and cooked until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be pan-fried in a little oil over medium heat, turning them occasionally to ensure even crisping and cooking. For a quicker option, air frying is also effective. Ensure the burger is thoroughly cooked before serving to enjoy its best texture and flavor.
