Atlantic Cod
Gadus morhua
North Atlantic cod is one of the most popular species in the world. With its mild flavour and lean, white fillets featuring large, distinctive flakes, cod has become a culinary staple.
Whether it's the classic beer-battered fish and chips, the traditional Bacalao, or sophisticated dishes served at some of the world's finest restaurants, the remarkable versatility of cod makes it a beloved choice for home cooks and professional chefs alike. Cod, with the characteristic barbel on their chin, thrive in Canada's ice-cold Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic cod is a true Canadian seafood treasure.
