Cod

Best to Buy

Look for cod that smells fresh like the ocean with clear eyes, clean gills, and moist, shiny scales. Fresh cod will give slightly when you press it and then spring back into shape.

Quick & Easy Recipe

Barbeque fillets on tin foil pierced with holes and baste with marinade until fish is opaque and moist on the inside, about 8 to 10 minutes.
