Dried and frozen cod – not an easy choice for all fish lovers

The Alden brand is known for top-quality cod products that adorn many home tables throughout the year. Maybe some of you know this already, but because of its low energy value, cod is a quality source of protein. Not the mention that eating cod can cause relaxation because it contains a lot of tryptophan, an amino acid that the body uses to synthesize serotonin, the so-called happy hormone. So, there is absolutely no question on what to enjoy at your upcoming dinner date at home – Alden’s got you covered.

But, cod can raise a certain question – should I eat dried or frozen cod, and what is the difference?

We’ll explain it shortly – drying food is the world’s oldest known preservation method, and dried fish has a storage life of several years, while frozen the cod, when done properly, saves its quality to be just as good as if it had never seen the inside of a freezer.

Frozen cod, which is otherwise very popular in Croatia, due to its affordable price and good taste, can be used for recipes that predict salted cod. Frozen cod should definitely be recommended because it is one of the ways to consume this unusually high-quality fish from all nutritional aspects.

On the other hand, the high-grade dried cod preserves the natural shape of the fish’s body and it’s properly cleaned before drying. There are no negative effects of freezing, no mold, and the skin is intact and, besides the great taste, it also has a nice color.

The taste, is, of course, not to be discussed, since all of us have a certain preference. But, the one thing you should consider when trying the available options if you adore cod as much as we do, is – why to not try both?
