Cooked cod is a lean, white fish known for its mild flavor and flaky texture, making it a versatile ingredient in many cuisines such as Mediterranean, Scandinavian, and British. A typical serving is rich in high-quality protein and essential nutrients, including vitamin B12, iodine, and selenium, which support metabolism, thyroid health, and immunity. Cod is naturally low in fat and calories, making it a smart choice for weight management and heart health. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which promote brain function and reduce inflammation. However, preparation methods like deep-frying can significantly increase the calorie and fat content, so baking, steaming, or grilling are often healthier options. Ethical sourcing is important, as cod stocks have faced overfishing in some areas. A tender, nutritious choice, cooked cod complements various herbs, spices, and sauces, and fits seamlessly into a balanced diet.
