Cod is a firm, white-fleshed saltwater fish with large, pearly flakes. Mild and slightly sweet, it cooks quickly and flakes easily when baked, pan seared, fried, or poached; it readily takes on seasonings. Common retail forms include skinless fillets, thick loins, whole fish, and salt-cured pieces.

Wild cod fisheries in the North Atlantic and North Pacific shaped coastal cuisines from the British Isles and New England to Scandinavia and Japan. Centuries of drying and salting made cod a global trade staple, notably central to Portuguese and West African dishes.
