Cod: Loved in Every Way

During the harsh northern winters in Japan, cod fishing reaches its high season, as the cod come to the coast to spawn. With its mild-flavored flesh and rich-tasting liver and milt, this fish delights the palate from head to tail, leaving nothing to waste. Cod is the star of this episode. We take a journey to fully savor every aspect of two types of cod, Pacific cod and Alaska pollock, that delight the Japanese, in a variety of forms.
