CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The difference between oil fish and cod

The cross-section size of oily fish and cod is different. The volume of cod is larger than that of oily fish, so the cross-section will also be larger. After thawing, cod feels very smooth and the skin is a bit sticky. Oily fish is not very smooth. Oily fish tastes delicious after being cooked in soup, but it is not suitable for frying. Cod meat melts in the mouth and is more suitable for eating raw. It also has high nutritional value.

1. Cross section

The cross section of oil fish is relatively small, and there is a light yellow or light red line in the middle of the oil fish. The volume of cod is larger than that of oil fish, so the cross section is also larger, and the cod meat is basically white, and there is no color or line inside, so the color will be better for frying fish fillets.

2. Touch

After thawing, codfish feels very smooth, and the skin is a little sticky when touched, which is also the performance of fresh codfish, so the codfish meat will be elastic. Oily fish feels not as smooth as codfish, and oily fish generally do not scrape fish scales, so the skin will be rougher.

3. Taste

Oily fish tastes greasy after being fried in cooking oil, so it is usually used to make soup. The taste of oily fish soup is more delicate, and the meat is also very tender. Cod is a deep-sea fish, so the meat melts in the mouth. It is not only tender but also has high nutritional value. It is more suitable to be eaten raw with mustard.
