What is shredded cod?

Shredded cod consists of pieces and flakes of cod that have been cleaned, removed from bones, and are ready to use. They come from the same fish as loins or portions, but in a smaller, more manageable format, perfect for mixing with vegetables, legumes, or potatoes.

Advantages of shredded cod versus cod loin

  • It blends best into stews, soups, scrambled eggs and fillings .
  • Save time in the kitchen: it comes desalted and chopped .
  • It usually has a more affordable price than the loin, while maintaining the flavor of good cod.

That's why it's the ideal piece for everyday cooking and traditional recipes.

Shredded cod for esqueixada and salads

To make esqueixada de bacalao (salt cod salad), shredded cod is the perfect format: simply drain it well, break up the flakes a bit with your hands, and mix with tomato, onion, bell pepper, olives, and a good olive oil. It also works very well in warm potato and vegetable salads .

Cod crumbs in stews, soups and rice dishes

Cod flakes add a lot of flavor to casseroles, rice dishes, chickpea stews, or bean dishes . They can be added almost at the end of cooking so they don't dry out too much and maintain a juicy texture.

Fillings and leftover cooking

Shredded cod is ideal for stuffing piquillo peppers, making empanadas, tortillas, croquettes, or fritters . It's the perfect base for using up leftovers, transforming vegetables or potatoes into a festive dish.

How to store and use shredded cod

Keep shredded cod refrigerated and always respect the expiration date. If it comes frozen, you can defrost only the amount you need . Once opened, it's best to consume it within 1–2 days , keeping it well covered in the refrigerator.
