Esse peixe é fantástico

It is also called legitimate cod, but it is slightly inferior in quality compared to Gadus morhua, which is why it costs less. This cod does not flake perfectly, so it is best prepared in large pieces. It looks similar to Gadus Morhua, but originates from the North Pacific. One way to differentiate the two is by their tails and fins, which in Macrocephalus have white embroidery at the tips. The skin of Gadus Macro is lighter.
