Nutaaq® Cod and Greenland halibut put to the test by German chefs

At a 3-hour session in the German Seefischkochstudio, 4 professional chefs had a talk about the advantages of frozen fish, packaging and our Nutaaq^® cod and Greenland halibut in particular.

In general frozen fish had positive associations among the chefs, who highlighted the advantages of availability, consistency in quality and the option to offer customers a wider selection.

Working with Nutaaq^®

Nutaaq^® cod performed particularly well with the chefs who chose to grill it or fry it on the pan, where the snow-white meat with absolutely no red blood clots were noted as a major plus. Receiving a whole fillet with skin worked perfectly for the chefs, as the fillet enables them to carve any type of portion they need and cod with skin is well suited for pan-frying, which is the most preferred method for cooking cod in Germany.

The chefs also enhanced the fresh and mild taste as a great feature that makes the cod a crowd pleaser – even for children or beginners within seafood.

The Nutaaq® cod from Royal Greenland is processed extremely fast to preserve the flavours and moisture of a freshly caught cod. Nutaaq® cod has a mild umami flavour and a delicate sweetness to the firm and juicy meat. When cooked, the cod flakes beautifully into snow-white pieces and provides a healthy and nutritious meal with its high protein and low fat content.
