Fish I want, fish thorns are not what I want, good fish without fish bones, not cod!
Today, we share how to make delicious secret cod at home! There are also tips for distinguishing between real and fake cod:
Real and fake cod
Cod because of less spines, good taste, rich in nutrition, rich in vitamins A, d and omega-3 fatty acids, or the raw material for extracting cod liver oil, has been loved by many people, especially the grace of unique mothers, like to buy to make complementary food for the baby. However, "fake cod" is rampant, how to distinguish what is a real cod and what is a fake cod? Follow the canned jun to Kangkang
First of all, cod is not without fish bones, but there are no small spines, coupled with the large size and many fish meat, so it can eat fish meat happily! The three species of fish in the genus Cod: Atlantic Cod, Greenland Cod and Pacific Cod are traditionally pure cod.
The average price of real cod is about 100 yuan / 500g, the so-called deep-sea cod and silver cod we usually see are not real cod, and the supermarket is not real for a dozen dollars, basically oil fish, high fat content and not easy to digest.
Oil fish on the left and cod on the right
Oil fish: the cut surface is narrow and long, rough and dull, and the skin is black and meshed
Cod: The cut surface is round, the flesh is tender, there is no obvious red line, the skin is gray, and the scales are small and sharp
Atlantic cod
The Atlantic cod is simply built for the table, distributed in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and the Arctic Circle, from northern Europe to Canada and the vast waters of the east coast of the United States, Norway, Iceland, Canada and Russia are its important producers.
The largest can grow to nearly two meters long, weigh one or two hundred pounds, the liver contains a lot of vitamin A and vitamin D, so it is often used as a refining cod liver oil.
With few spines, a light meat flavor and a large body, the Atlantic cod is suitable for almost every cooking method, and even if it is simply steamed, it is a delicious meal.
Pacific cod
Pacific cod is generally smaller than Atlantic cod, but it looks no different from Atlantic cod, and the taste is indistinguishable. But because the countries on the Pacific coast do not have the Cod complex like Europe, it has always been relatively unknown.
China's Yellow Bohai Sea is also the source of Pacific cod, and coastal residents did not pay much attention to it at the earliest times, who would have thought that people are now on fire?! The reality version of "Today you love to answer me, tomorrow I will make you unable to climb high" ~
Greenland cod
The cod is low-key because it grows mainly in the waters around Greenland's coastline, with a small habitat and low yield, and it rarely appears in the market, leaving it alone.
In addition to the origin price, when cooking, we can also distinguish between real and fake cod. Real cod will not precipitate too much oil when cooking, there will be a good taste of "elastic teeth", and the meat is tight and not easy to break;
When the oil fish and false cod are cooked, a lot of fat will precipitate, especially after frying, the meat pieces of the oil fish will be very scattered.
It's not easy to come across good cod, and it must be delicious so as not to waste this precious ingredient. Canned Jun recommends several fairy ways to eat cod for you, steaming, grilling, frying, and stewing at one time
