Overview

Rockcods are suitable for a wide range of cooking styles, they can be steamed, poached, deep-fried, pan-fried, stir-fried, baked, grilled, barbecued, or eaten raw (sashimi). The species are popular due to their low oiliness and juicy, thick flakes. They are often sold as fillets, but can be found whole which makes for a stunning centre piece for a group occasion. They are especially fantastic fried, barbecued or steamed as fillets or steaks. Grilled Rankin Cod steaks are excellent served with pepperonata or tapenade. Try baked in a rich vegetable provençale, or salted, for a unique taste. . The heads of large fish are good eating – especially the cheek meat – and popular for dishes such as fish head curry.
