Cuisine & Edibility
Atlantic Cod
Iconic mild white flesh, low fat, and a flaky texture; the backbone of fish-and-chips and salt cod traditions worldwide. Currently Vulnerable; sustainable sourcing is strongly recommended.
Bluegill
Mild, sweet white flesh with fine texture and very low fat; one of America's most popular panfish for the table. Ideal pan-fried whole with cornmeal crust or deep-fried in strips.
Species Overview
Atlantic Cod
The Atlantic cod is one of the most historically important commercial fish species. Its mild, flaky white flesh has been a staple food in Europe for centuries. Overfishing caused the collapse of the Grand Banks fishery in 1992.
Bluegill
The bluegill is the most common sunfish in North America and often the first fish a young angler catches. Its deep body, dark ear flap, and iridescent blue-green colors make it easy to identify. A fierce predator of insects despite its small size.
