{"product_id":"atlantic-cod-loin-mid-section","title":"Atlantic Cod Loin, Mid-Section","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eThe middle of the fish and nothing else: thick, round loins cut from the centre body, so every steak is the same depth and the same flake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtlantic cod loin, cut from the mid-section of the fillet rather than the tail or the belly. Each piece is a thick round steak of pure white flesh with a clean, mild sweetness and a flake that separates into large soft plates when it is cooked. There is no dark meat along the belly line, because the belly is not in the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Comes From\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild-caught in cold northern water, where cod grows slowly and builds firm muscle rather than the soft, watery flesh of warm-water fish. Cut and frozen at sea, so the loins never sit in a hold waiting to be processed ashore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAtlantic cod, \u003cem\u003eGadus morhua\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMid-section loin, boneless, skin on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrozen, individually frozen steaks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 kg per box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 8 to 10 steaks, 250 to 300 g each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eState on Arrival\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard frozen individually, each steak loose in the box rather than frozen into a block.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, in a covered dish, never on the bench and never in warm water. Pat the surface dry before it goes in the pan — cod releases a lot of water and a wet steak will steam instead of browning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShelf Life and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest within 6 months frozen.
