Cod filet is a mild, lean white fish prized for its delicate, flaky texture. Typically sold fresh and kept chilled, it's simple to season and cooks quickly. Commonly baked, pan-seared, poached, or used in fish tacos and chowders. Suitable for weeknight dinners and professional kitchens seeking a neutral-flavored fish that pairs well with herbs, citrus, and light sauces.
