Cod can be found in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, primarily from Greenland to Cape Hatteras. Georges Bank to the western Gulf of Maine is a popular dwelling ground for cod, due to the ideal conditions that exist there. Cod live in cold ocean water depths of up to 500 ft, preferring a habitat that has a coarse-like ocean floor. As they grow, cod can reach over 50 inches in length and over 70 lbs in weight, their lifespan is approximately 20 years.

When it comes to taste and texture, cod comes in with a flaky white flesh and a very mild flavor with a touch of ocean sweetness.
