Cod fish is sort of a luxury food for us due to its rarity in the wet markets and its highly expensive pricing since it’s an imported fish. However, we do buy some frozen cod fish once in a while from one of the distributors here and I’d try a few ways to cook it.
Since I am most adept at cooking the Chinese way (meaning stir frying most of the time), I thought maybe I could use almost the same way to cook cod fish. And this is what I made…
**Cod fish in mushrooms and herbs sauce**
It is pretty easy to cook and the sauce gave the codfish a nice herby and mushroomy flavor. This is what I do:
Fusion cod fish recipe: Codfish in Mushrooms and Herbs Sauce
Ingredients
2 pcs codfish
1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 cup plain flour
5 fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly
4 tbsp chopped fresh mixed herbs
1/2 clove garlic, diced
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
Instructions
1. Season the codfish with salt, garlic powder and rub the flour all over it
2. Heat up about 3 tbsp of cooking oil in a non-stick pan and shallow fry the fish until it turns brown. Make sure to fry both sides till it is cooked through.
3. Remove the fish and place on a plate. Do not clean out the cooking pan as it already has the nice codfish juices in it. Instead, add the remaining cooking oil and then sautée the garlic over medium heat till fragrant.
4. Add the mushrooms and stir fry it till fragrant. Then add in the sauces and the herbs. Stir fry it a while before pouring in the water.
5. Let it simmer over medium heat
6. Remove from heat and pour it over the cooked cod fish.
Serve the cod fish hot or else it will become soggy

Eating codfish is good for you as it is rich in Omega-3, thus making it a heart-healthy food and also one of those foods that could prevent cancer. Do try to consume fish at least two times a week.

Yum!! I love cod fish… too bad we have to put up with frozen ones, because if they’re fresh, they’re great just plain steamed! Great recipe…mushrooms are great with everything, aren’t they?

fish is the best food u can eat couse it contains omega 3 ive been taking omega 3 in liquid form for the last 12 months a long with my son i originally started to take it for my son he suffers with add and we had made a pact that if he takes it every night before he goes to bed i will take it with him. That lasted for a couple weeks before i started to notice feeling ache free and just betetr in general. It really helped him with dis add he doesnt take ritilyn no more so almost a year later we are both taking it sometimes in the morning most times before we go to sleep. I take it in liquid form thus y my son had such a problem with taking it in the first place. But it doesnt taste nor smell like fish at all it comes in 3 flavours we take lemon they have 3 flavours but im not quite sure what they are! i ahve been buying it from http://www.omega3fishoil.com i tried a couple other sites but i like there product the best!
