In spite of "codfish" being a popular insult for pirates, the fish itself is pretty well loved in the seafood world. The flesh is tender and flaky, and it has a mild flavor that's less likely to scare off people who aren't fans of the overly "fishy" taste. In general, fish is a great addition to your weekly meal rotations because it's a healthy protein that's quick and easy to cook. And to make it even better, cooking up some beautiful cod with our breading recipe gives you an easy dinner that both looks and tastes incredible. Since cod cooks so quickly, there can be a risk of overcooking if you're just eyeballing it. Luckily that's not the case, and you've got MEATER to help you nail the most flaky and flavorful fish. This dish is packed with bold ingredients, so you can go a bit stronger with the sides, and we recommend a classic Caesar salad and garlic bread. White fish work best with lighter beverages like a dry riesling or a golden ale.
