One cookbook states that the dish typically consists of "a fifty-fifty mix of lean and oily fish, "along with shellfish such as clams and mussels, and often squid or octopus as well. This recipe uses two kinds of oily fish (such as mackerel, swordfish, or tuna) and two kinds of lean whitefish, (such as cod, monkfish, hake, flounder, and haddock), plus shrimp, mussels in the shell, and squid. ...

Mackerel As Food
Mackerel is an important food fish that is consumed worldwide. As an oily fish, it is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. The flesh of mackerel spoils quickly, especially in the tropics, and can cause scombroid food poisoning. Accordingly, it should be eaten on the day of capture, unless properly refrigerated or Curing (food preservation), cured. Preservation Mackerel preservation is not simple. Before the 19th-century development of canning and the widespread availability of refrigeration, Salting (food), salting and Smoking (cooking), smoking were the principal preservation methods available. Historically in England, this fish was not preserved, but was consumed only in its fresh form. However, spoilage was common, leading the authors of ''The Cambridge Economic History of Europe'' to remark: "There are more references to stinking mackerel in English literature than to any other fish!" In France, mackerel was traditionally pickled with large amounts of salt, which allowed it ...

Tuna As Food
A tuna (: tunas or tuna) is a saltwater fish that belongs to the tribe Thunnini, a subgrouping of the Scombridae (mackerel) family. The Thunnini comprise 15 species across five genera, the sizes of which vary greatly, ranging from the bullet tuna (max length: , weight: ) up to the Atlantic bluefin tuna (max length: , weight: ), which averages and is believed to live up to 50 years. Tuna, opah, and mackerel sharks are the only species of fish that can maintain a body temperature higher than that of the surrounding water. An active and agile predator, the tuna has a sleek, streamlined body, and is among the fastest-swimming pelagic fish—the yellowfin tuna, for example, is capable of speeds of up to . Greatly inflated speeds can be found in early scientific reports and are still widely reported in the popular literature. Found in warm seas, the tuna is commercially fished extensively as a food fish, and is popular as a bluewater game fish. As a result of overfishing, ...

Whitefish (fisheries Term)
Whitefish or white fish is a fisheries term for several species of demersal fish with fins, particularly Atlantic cod (''Gadus morhua''), whiting (fish), whiting (''Merluccius bilinearis''), haddock (''Melanogrammus aeglefinus''), Phycidae, hake (''Urophycis''), and pollock (''Pollachius''), among others. Whitefish live on or near the seafloor, and can be contrasted with the Oily fish, oily or pelagic fish, which live away from the seafloor. Whitefish do not have much fish oil, oil in their tissue, and have flakier white or light-coloured flesh. Most of the oil found in their bodies is concentrated in the organs, e.g. cod liver oil. Whitefish can be divided into benthopelagic fish (round fish that live ''near'' the sea bed, such as cod and Coley (fish), coley) and benthic fish (which live ''on'' the sea bed, such as flatfish like plaice). Whitefish is sometimes eaten straight but is often used reconstituted for fishsticks, gefilte fish, lutefisk, surimi (imitation crab meat), e ...

The North European species is ''Lophius piscatorius'', and the Mediterranean species is ''Lophius budegassa''. Taxonomy ''Lophius'' was first proposed as a genus by Carl Linnaeus when he described ''Lophius piscatorius'' in the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' given as "''in Oceano Europæo''", meaning the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Seas with localities mentioned including Bordeaux, Marseille and Montpellier in France; Genoa, Rome, Naples and Venice in Italy; Lesbos in Greece; and Syria.

Cod As Food
Cod and other cod-like fish have been widely used as food through history. Other cod-like fish come from the same family (Gadidae) that cod belong to, such as haddock, pollock, and Merlangius, whiting. Cod Cod is popular as a food with a mild flavour and a dense, flaky Whitefish (fisheries term), white flesh. Young Atlantic cod or haddock prepared in strips for cooking is called scrod. Cod's soft liver can be canned or fermented into cod liver oil, providing an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA and docosahexaenoic acid, DHA). Cod flesh is moist and flaky when cooked and is white in colour. In the United Kingdom, Atlantic cod is one of the most common ingredients in fish and chips, along with haddock and plaice. Cod can be easily turned into various other products, such as cod liver oil, omega pills, etc. According to the laws of kashrut, cod is considered kosher because it is a Kosher fish, fish with both fins ...
