Atlantic Cod are harvested in the natural, unspoiled waters of Iceland’s 200 mile fishing zone. Carefully managed under the nation’s strict responsible fisheries regulations, these waters are most notably the richest and cleanest fishing grounds in the world.
Available long-line or trawler caught, chefs enjoy this versatile whitefish for its mild sweet flavor and plump, delicate and flaky white texture.
Cod is extremely low in fat with only a few calories per serving. This fish is a great source of protein, vitamin B12 and potassium. Like others in the whitefish family, cod has zero carbs!
