White, black, blue and golden.. Cod cod cod!

Nowadays we get plenty of variety of cod fish in the market. Sometimes it is easy to get confused with all the fancy names around.

It’s best to buy your cod fish from reputable retailers as some times it is not easy to differentiate the quality of cod fish if you’re not very familiar with them.

You can easily get cod fish from Isetan, Jusco, Cold Storage and Giant outlets. The best cod fish is the white cod with its extremely fresh taste and smooth flesh. To my knowledge, there’s no fresh cod being imported to Malaysia and all the cod fish we’ve got in the market are imported in frozen whole fish form.

When you’re buying cod fish, you’re offered the choice of fresh cod slice (actually they’re thawed) or frozen vacuum-packed (Cold Storage and Giant offer this). It is actually better to buy the frozen cod as they’re essentially from the same source. Buying the thawed cod fish means you will need to cook them immediately and freezing them again is really not a good idea.
Remember, it is never good to thaw and refreeze your meat or seafood as it will ultimately spoil the quality of the product.
