🦈 Why Pacific Cod is the Perfect Stir Fry Fish

Before we get cooking, let’s talk about why Pacific cod is a great choice for this stir fry:

1. It’s Mild & Super Flaky

Not a fan of strong fish flavors? Pacific cod is mild, slightly sweet, and pairs perfectly with bold stir-fry sauces. It has a tender, flaky texture that soaks up all those delicious seasonings.

2. It’s a Protein Powerhouse

Low in fat but high in protein, Pacific cod is an awesome choice for a healthy meal. Plus, it’s packed with omega-3s, which are great for brain and heart health.

3. It’s Wild-Caught & Sustainable

Most Pacific cod is wild-caught in cold, clean waters, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly seafood choice. So, you’re not only eating wellβ€”you’re doing good for the planet! 🌍

4. It’s Super Versatile

Pacific cod works in so many dishesβ€”grilled, baked, fried, or, in this case, stir-fried to perfection!
