Cod is the classic British white fish: a large, olive-speckled fish with a pale lateral line, living in the cooler waters of the North Atlantic.
The fillet is white and mild, with large, moist flakes that separate cleanly when cooked. Its gentle flavour makes it easy to please a crowd, and it works across almost every method, from battering and frying to roasting and fish pie.
