Cod Fish has been a staple of the human diet all throughout history. Codfish has lvery ow fat content and high Vitamin A, Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids level. Cod are omnivorous, swimming with their mouths open they will eat anything that fits, including young cod. For a long time – particularly in England, the word fish was synonymous with cod. And Codfish are believed to have existed as the species we know today for about 120 million years. What is interesting and I just found out recently, is that cod was the original fish of choice used in th eMcDonald’s Filet-O-Fish burger. Codfish live to an average age of 20-30 years.
