Cod Loins Skinless
100% natural atlantic cod.
Cod's white colour is delicate, flaky, and its taste is superior.
Our cod has a lean, gentle flavour profile and a soft, strong texture. Atlantic Cod tends to have thicker, more moisture-rich fillets and is less firm and a little tougher to bread/batter.

High in Lean Protein
Cod is high in protein but low in calories, fat, and carbs.
A 3-ounce (85-gram) serving of cooked Atlantic cod has only 90 calories and around 1 gram of fat. However, it is packed with 19 grams of protein
Similarly, the same serving size of cooked Pacific cod provides about 85 calories, less than 1 gram of fat, and 20 grams of protein
A Good Source of Some B Vitamins
B vitamins have many essential functions in your body, including metabolizing nutrients and releasing energy from food
Both Atlantic and Pacific cod are good sources of several B vitamins.
One 3-ounce (85-gram) serving of cooked cod provides over 30% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for vitamin B12 for adults
In addition to other vital functions, vitamin B12 helps form red blood cells and DNA.
What’s more, these fish are good sources of vitamin B6 and niacin — both of which are necessary for hundreds of significant chemical reactions in your body
Rich in Phosphorus and Selenium
In addition to its vitamin content, cod provides several important minerals, including phosphorus and selenium.
Phosphorus is a critical component of bones and teeth. It also plays a role in the proper function of some B vitamins
Meanwhile, selenium helps make and protect your DNA (9).
Cod contains approximately 20% or more of the RDI for phosphorus in a 3-ounce (85-gram) serving.
This fish is an especially good source of selenium, too, with a single 3-ounce (85-gram) serving often giving 40% or more of the RDI for adults .
Thus, cod goes a long way toward fulfilling your mineral requirements.
