Cod Fillet Steaks - 2 steaks

This is cod in its Sunday best - you are getting the prime cuts of the fillet - no tail, no flap, no bones. Produced from ultra-fresh cod landed at UK or Icelandic ports then rushed to us for processing. Vac-packed in pairs of matching shape and weight. Fillet steaks are oblongs from the middle. (See the fish terms explained tab lower down the page). Portions are normally tail end fillet steaks, thinner, but no less flavour. Fillet steaks are thick cut which gives you flexibility when it comes to cooking them. They work well when baked as the cod can retain the moisture and will yield lovely large flakes. The skin-on fillet steaks are awesome for pan-frying - heat the pan to a medium heat and place the steak in skin side down and cook for 70% of the time on that side, this will give you that irresistible crispy skin finish. (Remember to pat the fish skin dry before cooking for crispy skin).

Sustainability - our rating 9/10

Almost always this cod is line-caught from Iceland, an MSC certified sustainable fishery. Iceland has made fantastic progress in the management of their fisheries since near collapse in the 1970s. Iceland has gone through multiple successful sustainability recertification processes. We use large mature cod for this cut.
