How to clean Cod:
Scale the fish by placing it in the sink under cold running water. Grasp the fish firmly
by the gills and scrape off scales starting from the tail to the head with a fish scaler
or small, dull knife using short strokes.
To remove the head, cut the flesh on both sides with a knife. If the fish is small,
slice directly through the spine. For a larger fish, place the knife between vertebrae
and tap the back of the knife with a hammer.
To fillet, place the cod on its side. Insert the sharp, thin knife behind the gills, and
cut in an arc down to just above the backbone. Continue cutting parallel to the backbone
toward the tail. Bring the knife up at the tail to remove the fillet.
To make steaks, place the cod on its side. With a sharp knife, cut slices 3/4 to
1/2-inch thick perpendicular to the spine. Tap the back of the blade with a wooden
hammer (mallet) to cut through the spine.
