Codfish
Cod is the common name for the demersal fish genus ''Gadus'', belonging to the family Gadidae. Cod is also used as part of the common name for a number of other fish species, and one species that belongs to genus ''Gadus'' is commonly not called cod (Alaska pollock, ''Gadus chalcogrammus''). The two most common species of cod are the Atlantic cod (''Gadus morhua''), which lives in the colder waters and deeper sea regions throughout the North Atlantic, and the Pacific cod (''Gadus macrocephalus''), found in both eastern and western regions of the northern Pacific. ''Gadus morhua'' was named by Linnaeus in 1758. (However, ''G. morhua callarias'', a low-salinity, nonmigratory race restricted to parts of the Baltic, was originally described as ''Gadus callarias'' by Linnaeus.) Cod is popular as a food with a mild flavour and a dense, flaky, white flesh. Cod livers are processed to make cod liver oil, a common source of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA ...
