New Zealand Blue Cod (Chilled)

Blue cod is one of New Zealand's most sought-after table fish, taken from the cold, clean waters around the country's southern coast. Ours comes in chilled rather than frozen, handled under a strict cold chain from the boat so it arrives in the condition it was landed in.

The flesh is white, fine grained and firm, with a clean sweetness and none of the muddiness that lets down cheaper white fish. It carries few bones, which makes it an easy fish to put in front of children and an easy one to cook whole.

Why Choose Our NZ Blue Cod?

• Chilled, never frozen: brought in fresh under cold chain, so the texture stays firm and the flavour clean.
• Clean New Zealand waters: from cold southern fishing grounds with a well-managed fishery.
• Fine, sweet flesh: delicate and tender with no muddy aftertaste.
• Few bones: easy eating for children and older diners alike.
• Genuinely nutritious: high in protein, a good source of Omega-3, and naturally low in fat.
• Feeds a family: whole fish, ready for the steamer or the oven.

Cooking Methods:

• Steamed whole: 8–10 minutes with ginger and spring onion, finished with hot oil and light soy — the best way to taste the fish itself.
• Braised in soy: rich, savoury and made for rice.
• Pan fried: dry the skin well, hot pan, until golden and crisp outside and just set within.
• Hotpot or soup: the flesh holds together in the broth and gives the stock real sweetness.
