Is cod a fish or vegetable?

Cod is a fish that's found in the Northern Sea. Cod has a mild flavor and flaky flesh, making it perfect for soup or fish and chips.

Is cod fish expensive?

It depends on where you live. However, generally, cod is expensive due to scarcity. A pound of cod fish can cost up to $5.63.

Does cod have bones?

The whole cod fish has bones, but depending on the cut of cod, it can come boneless. For example, cod fillets and cod cheeks are boneless. However, cod steaks are sold bone-in.

Is cod better than Salmon?

It depends on your personal tastes. Some people prefer salmon, while others prefer cod. However, nutritionally, salmon is more nutritious than cod. As salmon is an oily fish, it's rich in omega-3s, which are important for brain and heart health. Cod fish, on the other hand, is a white fish, so it contains fewer omega-3s.
