Cod Recipes
Cod, not tuna, is really the chicken of the sea. The fish were once so abundant that it was said you couldn't drag a net anywhere between Cape Cod and Ireland without pulling up a thousand Cod. Because of this, cuisines from the Americas to old Europe feature Cod recipes in all shapes, styles and sizes.
One of the most popular is the fish taco, which comes from Mexico. Because cod has a mild taste, it's perfect for tacos with fresh ingredients that can each be tasted and not overwhelmed. A typical fish taco will have cilantro, a bit of red pepper seasoning, chilli pepper seasoning, vegetable oil, lemon juice and cilantro. You can also add mayonnaise and sour cream to taste, not to mention fresh salsa, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
The recipe that's probably best known to folks from New England and the Atlantic coast is the Lemon Baked Cod. It's the simplest of cod recipes. You simply coat a one pound cod filet with butter and lemon, then dredge it in a mix of flour, salt, and paprika. Of course you can season it to taste with other spices (black pepper being a common choice). Then just bake and serve.
On the other side of the pond you'll find that one of the staples of the English diet is "fish and chips." By "chip", the English are actually referring to what Americans call "French Fries." (They call potato chips "crisps", incidently).
Anyway, Fish and Chips is to the English what steak and potatoes is to Americans. The most quintessentially universal meal in the culture, an example of something your fathers, and their fathers, and their fathers fathers ate all the way back as far as memory stretches. And for the english, at the heart of it is the cod.
The classic fish and chips cod recipes are very similar to the Lemon Baked Cod recipe above. The main differences are that rather than keep the fish cut whole in one big filet, the fish and chips recipe calls for the cod to be cut into more managable chunks of about three ounces each. You still coat the chunks in butter and flour, then instead of baking, you drop them into a deep fat fryer and cook them for anywhere from six to ten minutes depending on how big the chunks are.
Sadly, these meals are in danger of becoming less popular in the years ahead. Once thought to be so abundant they couldn't be overfished, cod are now endangered in the Atlantic. Fishing fleets from Canada, New England, the Azores, Portugal and the British Isles have had to lie dormant since the early 1990s while the species recovers its numbers.
What is the best way to cook cod? On the grill or in the oven. Any recipe ideas?
lay it on some tin foil, salt and pepper, some wedges of lemon and herbs of your choice, scrunch the edges of the foil up round 3 sides and add a splash of white wine if you like it, or about a tablespoon of water, scrunch up the remaining open end and pop in the oven for about 25 minutes, it'll steam in the bag and be gorgeous!!!

You need to look into a healthy diet regimen, you can make high calorie food that is healty. There are many internet sites, for example a stir fry is good. You can still make steak and potatoes, but you need to limit your steak and potatoes not his. Have a salad to make up the difference. Thank god children don't have to worry about cholesterol but if you have it that makes your son predisposed to it in the future, so a good healty eating habit now may save him from high levels in the future

Hi Gary,
I did not notice til today that you had asked me a question!! Sorry, I am not very observant. When I visited the UK, I really enjoyed the big peas-which I think are called mushy peas, traditional roast beef with horseradish, sausages-bangers & maish and of course the fish and chips. I don't what they do to fish and chips over there but it tastes totally different and better than when you get it in the states. Very tasty. Happy New Year!
She surely did think Chicken of the sea was really chicken. I didnt get the exact clip from the show but I did get her acting in Saturday Night Live…here it is:

The British are retarded ass*holes…they have fu*cked up teeth and call "fries" chips. Basically, it's called Fish and Chips because the British were bored and wanted to screw with us.
