Cod is one veritably versatile fish. Firm, yet remarkably flaky in texture, with a mild, delicately sweet flavor profile, it’s equally delicious whether its baked, blackened, steamed, or sautéed. In other words, it’s precisely the kind of fish you want to have on hand during the spring, when fish fries and seafood boils are just beginning to warm up. That’s why, for the season, we’re carrying Trader Joe’s Cod Fillets, a delicious, all- purpose, wild-caught whitefish option that’s excellent in everything from tangy fish tacos, to creamy seafood chowders, to classic fish and chips.

Our Cod Fillets are caught in the wild using longline fishing to help minimize bycatch, and arrive in the package boneless and skinless for ease of cooking. They can be prepared in all kinds of dishes with all levels of complexity, from the sublimely simple (baked with a bit of butter, lemon juice, and crushed Golden Rounds) to the delightfully complex (glazed in miso paste and broiled until crisp). We particularly like them breaded or beer battered, then fried to a golden brown for an unbeatable fried fish sandwich.
