Trader Joe's is bolstering its fresh fish selection with the addition of its new Wild Caught Cod Fillets.
Perfectly timed for the Lenten season, the new Wild Caught Cod Fillets are a perfect protein alternative to meat. Cod is a particularly great option because it is a firm, yet tender and flaky fish with a mild flavor profile – all qualities that make it incredibly versatile. Trader Joe's suggests baking, blackening, steaming, or sauteeing its Wild Caught Cod Fillets, or even using it to make classic seafood dishes like chowder or fish and chip. Best of all, these filets are caught in the wild using a longline fishing method, which helps to minimize bycatch and reduce the strain on the environment.
