Can frozen cod be boiled? 🧊

[beni]

Hello fellas! I bought a frozen cod from the store. I'm wondering if frozen cod can be boiled ? I never tried it, but thinking about giving it a shot. I'm curious if it maintains texture or flavor. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Absolutely, you can boil frozen cod! Just pop it into boiling water and let it cook for a few extra minutes compared to fresh fish. Easy peasy!

Boiling frozen cod is definitely an option, but it's important to thaw it completely first to ensure even cooking. Rapidly boiling water can cause the fish to become tough or rubbery, so it's best to simmer it gently until it flakes easily with a fork. Adding flavorful ingredients like herbs, lemon slices, or a splash of white wine to the cooking water can enhance the taste of the fish. Just be sure not to overcook it to maintain its delicate texture and flavor. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out!

Boiling works, but I think thawing it first gives you a better result, though!

Yes, frozen cod can be boiled, but it's generally not recommended as it can result in a less-than-ideal texture and flavor compared to other cooking methods like baking, grilling, or pan-searing. Thawing the cod before cooking will help ensure more even cooking and better results.
