Description
Cod cheeks are a true delicacy known for their unique texture and flavour. Appearance: Cod cheeks are the small, tender pieces of meat found in the head of the fish, right below the eyes. They are often round or oval in shape. They have a firm, yet delicate texture that’s often compared to scallops. When cooked, they become beautifully flaky. The flavour of cod cheeks is mild and slightly sweet, similar to the rest of the cod but with a richer taste due to their higher fat content. Cod cheeks can be cooked in various ways, including frying, sautéing, grilling, or baking. They are often lightly seasoned to let their natural flavour shine. They are popular in dishes like pan-fried cod cheeks, cod cheek risotto, and cod cheek tacos. They can be served as an appetizer or as the main course. Cod cheeks are highly prized in many culinary traditions and offer a delightful twist on the classic cod fish experience.
