cod definition and meaning

What is a "cod"?

A cod is a widely recognized and commercially important fish known for its firm, white flesh, and mild flavor. Found in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, cod is known for its stocky body and prominent chin barbel. These bottom-dwelling fish are highly adaptable and can be found in a range of habitats, from shallow coastal waters to deep-sea trenches. Cod is a popular choice for various culinary preparations, such as fish and chips, fish stews, and baked dishes. It is also highly valued for its nutritional content, being a good source of lean protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids. Historically, cod has played a significant role in the fishing industry, being a staple food in many coastal communities. However, overfishing has led to declines in cod populations, prompting conservation efforts to ensure the sustainability of this iconic species.
