About Cod
Haddock, Pollock, Hake and Whiting are all part of the cod's extended family. The most important of these is the Atlantic Cod, on which New England's colonial fishing ports were based. Caught from Norway, Iceland, Canada and New England, the cod can grow to over 25 pounds, but most market fish are in the 8 to 10 pound range. Sold mostly as fresh skinless fillets, this mild fish can be used in a variety of ways, from pan sautéing to baking. A smoked version called Finnan Haddie is an superb dish, poached in milk. Salt cod, mentioned before, is still an important tradition in Southern European cultures.
