Cod Fillet, Extra Large, 1.25kg

Cod Fillet Extra Large is an extra large cod fillet weighing 1.25kg — a generous, prime cut from one of Britain’s most celebrated fish. Cod has a clean, mild flavour and a beautiful large, white flake. In particular, a fillet of this size comes from a substantial fish. As a result, the flesh is thicker, more even and considerably more flavourful than smaller portions. Furthermore, the extra large format suits sharing as a centrepiece and is ideal for baking whole or cutting into portions.

About Cod Fillet Extra Large

We source our fish and seafood from trusted fishmongers and sustainable fisheries. In particular, every supplier covers the British Isles and Europe. In particular, we select every species for its quality, provenance and flavour. As a result, the fish at your door meets the standard of the finest fishmonger. Furthermore, it compares to what a top restaurant supplier would provide. Furthermore, we handle every fish with care from the moment it leaves the water. Our team fillets it to order, packs it carefully and delivers it chilled in insulated packaging. However, the most important thing is what happens in your kitchen. Fresh fish of genuine quality needs very little. In particular, a hot pan, good butter and simple seasoning always beats complicated sauces. The best fish needs no embellishment. Additionally, freshness is everything with fish. A short supply chain from source to door makes all the difference. That is why Cod Fillet Extra Large from The Artisan Food Company consistently meets the expectations of the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Cod Fillet Extra Large From Us

Cooking fish well is one of the most rewarding skills in the kitchen. However, it is also one that many home cooks find intimidating. In contrast to meat, fish needs very little time. Most fillets cook in under 10 minutes. As a result, the margin between perfect and overcooked is small. In particular, the single most common mistake is overcooking. Furthermore, fish continues to cook after it leaves the heat. Therefore, pulling it from the pan a moment early is always the right decision. Moreover, a good non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan makes an enormous difference. Additionally, patting the fillet completely dry before cooking is essential. This gives a clean, golden sear rather than steaming in its own moisture.

When you order Cod Fillet Extra Large from The Artisan Food Company, you can trust that we have handled it with the same care and attention from water to door. Furthermore, Cod Fillet Extra Large arrives chilled and ready to cook. Simply remove from packaging and cook.

How to Cook Cod Fillet Extra Large

To get the very best from Cod Fillet Extra Large:

• For the finest pan-fried result: pat dry, season and cook skin-side down in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn carefully and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes — cod is ready when the flesh turns from translucent to opaque throughout.
• However, thick cod benefits from finishing in a 180°C oven for 3 to 4 minutes after searing for even cooking to the centre.
• Furthermore, the extra large fillet suits baking whole at 180°C for 20 to 25 minutes with butter, lemon and herbs.

Perfect Pairings

Cod Fillet Extra Large pairs beautifully with:

• A classic parsley sauce, beurre blanc or a brown butter and caper preparation
• A chilled Chablis, Albariño, Muscadet or a crisp Picpoul de Pinet alongside
• Crushed peas, roasted cherry tomatoes or braised fennel alongside
• Chunky chips and tartare sauce for the most satisfying of all preparations
