Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for cod if I can't find it?

If cod is unavailable, you can substitute it with other firm white fish such as haddock, halibut, or tilapia. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fish.

How should I store leftover grilled cod and greens?

Leftover grilled cod and greens can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm it in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.

What should I do if my cod steaks are overcooked?

If your cod steaks are overcooked and dry, try serving them with a sauce or salsa to add moisture. Tartar sauce, a drizzle of olive oil, or a squeeze of fresh lemon can enhance the flavor and texture.
