Marinade for White Fish
We offer five different types of white fish, Pacific cod, halibut, rockfish, flounder, and lingcod. Whitefish marinade recipes help balance the subtle sweetness of and flakey texture of white fish. When you marinate fish, it helps to keep your whitefish moist, especially when you use a fish marinade for baking or a fish marinade for frying.

Pacific Cod Fish Marinade:
When marinating a white fish such as pacific cod, we recommend you follow these two simple tips:
1. Use an oil-based marinade. An oil-based marinade for fish filets will help maintain moisture in your fish. Whitefish can dry out quickly, especially when baking or grilling.
2. Quick Fish Marinade. Thirty minutes in an oil-based fish marinade will help prevent the outside of your fish from drying out too quickly without allowing the acidic ingredients in your fish marinade recipes to start cooking the fish. Unless you're making a ceviche such as Peruvian Raw Fish Marinade, you don't want to leave your fish in the marinade for too long.
