Cod

It's white fish, salt water. It is a rain-haline species, that is, of low salinity, and young specimens prefer low levels of salinity and high vegetation areas. He is very fond, especially carnivorous, and eats crustaceans, molluscs, worms, and fish.

It's also called Andeja or Reig. He belongs to the family of the scenes, and is related to the corballos and warts. It lives between 15 and 300 meters deep.

His body is slender, dark silver gray, and the upper part of his fins is brown red. And his mouth is round. Depending on the size, the weight of the cork varies greatly, and we can find pieces between 1 and 50 kilograms, which can be measured up to two metres.

Today we can also find aquaculture corvine. An advantage that you can always find in markets and fishmongers.

In our gastronomy, this fish is considered a food because of its taste and versatility. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, which makes it a very valuable fish in the kitchen.

But its strong and delicate texture requires love, mime, and minimal knowledge in its preparation.

It is marketed entirely with its head or cut, fresh, frozen and smoked.
