As strange as it may sound these new fish filets combine the best of both breakfast and dinner. Just as the name suggests, Costco's new Everything Bagel Crusted Cod Fillets consists of [wild-caught Icelantic cod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildcaught-pacific-cod) crusted in a blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and cheddar cheese—also known as [everything bagel seasoning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-bagel-seasoning-dark-chocolate). The result is a hybrid fish filet that is savory, salty, toasty, and crunchy all at once. The fillets are the work of the Canadian brand High Liner, which has been around for 115 years and is dedicated to sustainability.
