3. The difference between haddock and cod

1. Different origins:

Cod is a general term for fish of the family Gadidae and other families of the order Gadformes, with more than 50 species, and is one of the main edible fish. Cod is native to the cold waters of the North Atlantic from Northern Europe to Canada and the eastern United States.

Alaska pollock is not a cod, nor is it a cheap substitute for cod. It is actually pollock. It is mostly distributed in the Chukchi Sea from the southern end of the Sea of ​​Japan to the north of the Bering Strait and along the coast of Canada. A few can reach the west side of the Korean Peninsula along the cold current. It is a cold-water marine fish.

2. Different nutritional values:

The cod meat is sweet and nutritious. The meat has a high protein content and low fat content. The liver is high in oil. In addition to DHA and DPA, which are all found in ordinary fish oil, it also contains vitamins A, D, E and other vitamins that are necessary for the human body. The skin is black or grayish black. The meat is white, fine and tender. The production of real cod is very small. The nutritional value of haddock is not as high as that of cod.
