CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What is the difference between cod and haddock?

1. What is the difference between silver cod and cod?

The differences between silver cod and cod are mainly as follows:

1. Price. Silver cod is a deep-sea fish from cold waters. It has high nutritional value and contains fat, protein and multiple vitamins. In supermarkets, the price of silver cod is much more expensive than that of cod.

2. Appearance and texture. Silver codfish pie with finfish and codfish are very different in appearance and generally cannot be confused. However, if both are cut into pieces and frozen for sale, it is difficult to distinguish them. A more practical way to distinguish them is to thaw the fish pieces and touch them with your hands. Generally speaking, silver codfish has harder meat and darker color, while codfish has softer meat and lighter color.

3. Taste. When fried, silver cod has a meaty aroma and tastes very greasy. When cooked, the meat is very coarse and has a poor taste. However, cod melts in your mouth, has very delicate meat, and has a unique fragrance and flavor.

Silver cod is a cold-water deep-sea fish with tender meat and rich in various nutrients. It is known as the "nutritionist on the table" in Europe, so the cod we usually eat refers to silver cod. There are many types of cod, silver cod is the best, and water cod is also a type of cod, but it is cheaper and less nutritious.

Cod is a cold-water bottom fish and one of the economic marine fish produced in the northern coastal areas. Every 100 grams of cod contains 16.5 grams of protein and 0.4 grams of fat. Its meat is white, fine, fresh and tender, refreshing and not greasy. Many countries in the world use cod as the main edible fish.

In Northern Europe, cod is known as the "nutritionist on the table". In addition to being eaten fresh, it is also processed into various aquatic foods. In addition, cod liver is large and high in oil, rich in vitamins A and D, and is the raw material for extracting cod liver oil.

1. Different origins: Cod is widely distributed in the world's oceans, mainly in France, Chile, New Zealand, etc. Silver cod is mainly distributed in the Arctic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean, mainly in Norway, Russia, etc.

2. Different prices: The price of cod is generally between 60-200 yuan per catty. The price of silver cod is as high as more than 200 yuan per catty.

3. Different tastes: The cod has very delicate texture, and after steaming, it is shaped like garlic cloves and easy to fall apart. After frying, it has a meaty aroma, but tastes greasy and has a poor taste. After cooking, the silver cod has meat that does not fall apart, and has a milky aroma that melts in your mouth. The texture is very delicate, and has a unique fragrance and freshness.

2. Today I went to a seafood store to buy cod. A 300-gram bag of silver cod cost 198 yuan. Am I being cheated at this price?

My friend, I have not sold it but I know there are pictures, so I dare not judge it. However, judging from the price, if it is real cod, the price is right. Cod is very expensive, usually more than 300 yuan. The "cod" marked in the supermarket freezer is only sold for a few tens of yuan, not real cod.

3. Experts have no idea about the identity of the codfish

Many experts are also confused about whether the dragon cod is the same as the oily fish. Chen Zhiyong, the manager of Guangzhou Huangsha Aquatic Products Market, and Li Yongxing, the chairman of Dongjiang Seafood Restaurant Group, who have been engaged in aquatic products for many years, said that they had never heard of oily fish and did not know whether the dragon cod was the same as the oily fish.

Qiu Yongsong, director of the Fishery Resources Research Office of the South China Sea Fisheries Research Institute, said that "Dragon Cod" is just a trade name and he was unable to identify the species of the fish. Qiu Yongsong said that the scientific name of oily fish is "Heteroscaled Snake Mackerel", which contains waxy fat that cannot be digested by the human body. Qiu Yongsong pointed out that the skin of oily fish has small thorns, but since the fish fillets currently sold on the market have been peeled, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish them by appearance.

Searching online, I found that some sellers would indicate "Hamiyu" or "Hakaiyu" when selling "Dragon Codfish". In this regard, Qiu Yongsong said that Haiyu and Hakaiyu are not cod, but people will not have adverse reactions after eating Hongshi. The reporter learned that many aquatic product markets are currently calling fish similar to cod "× cod" in order to attract citizens to buy, making the market flooded with a large number of "Dragon Cod", "Blue Cod", "Golden Cod", etc., which even industry insiders find difficult to distinguish.

The price of silver cod is close to 100 yuan per catty, while the price of black cod is about 14 yuan per catty. Therefore, some black restaurants sell black cod under the banner of silver cod. In response to this situation, the Municipal Food Safety Office said that it will organize experts to study black cod and oil fish, and prepare information on the difference and distribute it to citizens through the media. Some experts remind citizens to try not to eat black cod and some low-priced "cod".
