In 1997, Mark Kurlansky published Cod:
A Biography of the Fish That Changed The World. It is worth reading, even if you’re not a fan
of micro-histories (but who isn't?).
We eat a fair amount of cod.
You can get good quality stuff at our groceries for $3.99/lb.
I usually make it in a simple tomato sauce and serve it over
pasta or rice.
- Sauté some vegetables in oil. Onions, shallots, celery, green pepper all are good
- Add a few cloves of minced garlic for about a minute
- Add tomato products – crushed or diced are good
- Add some herbs – oregano, basil, thyme work
- Simmer to meld flavors, about 20 – 30 minutes
- Add cod, cut into two inch chunks
- Cover and simmer for another 10 – 12 minutes
- Taste and add salt and pepper to taste
- Serve over rice or pasta
The Codfish
By: Anonymous
The codfish lays ten thousand eggs,
The homely hen lays one.
The codfish never cackles
To tell you what she’s done.
And so we scorn the codfish,
While the humble hen we prize,
Which only goes to show you
That it pays to advertise.
