Alaska Cod
Gadus macrocephalus
One of the most popular species from the North Pacific, Alaska cod is a large, lean whitefish that’s an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and heart-healthy nutrients. This crowd-pleasing fish is known for its incredible versatility, turning up in a wide range of dishes from casual fish and chips to high-end, white tablecloth entrées. Alaska cod has a firm texture with a large flake and a sweet flavor that gives it its universal appeal.
Benefits and Nutrition
Alaska cod is an excellent source of lean protein. A 3-ounce portion contains 17 grams of complete protein while providing only 70 calories and no fat. Additionally, Alaska cod offers 201 milligrams of marine omega-3 fatty acids and is rich in other essential nutrients that support good health, including:
67% of the daily value for Vitamin B-12, which is important for healthy brain function.
Selenium, which can help protect the body from infections.
Sustainability
Like all fisheries in Alaska, maintaining cod stocks and protecting the ecosystems where they live is the highest priority for fishery managers. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council relies on scientific surveys conducted by federal fisheries scientists to assess cod populations and set sustainable quotas for harvest each year. The cod fishery is also independently certified by both the Marine Stewardship Council and the Responsible Fishery Management program.
