For culinary purists, whole fish enthusiasts, and chefs looking for maximum flavor, our Fresh Whole Atlantic Cod offers the ultimate sea-to-table experience. Preparing a whole fish locks in incredible moisture and deep, rich flavor during cooking—plus, you get the added bonus of the head and bones for making rich, velvety homemade fish stock.

Because we rely on daily wild catches, our fresh whole cod is available on an intermittent basis, and supplies are strictly limited based on what our local boats bring in each week.

Why Chefs Buy Whole Cod

  • Maximum Yield & Value: Buying whole yields fresh fillets, tender cheeks, juicy collars, and a solid frame for stock—giving you significantly more total culinary output for your dollar.
  • Custom Butchery at Home: Cut your cod exactly how you want it, from thick "Captain's Cut" center loins for pan-searing to thin tail portions for fish & chips and belly strips for chowder.
  • Access to Chef-Favorite Delicacies: Harvest coveted "hidden cuts" like sweet, tender cod cheeks and rich, succulent cod collars that are rarely available pre-packaged.
  • Scratch-Made Fish Stock: The collagen-rich head and frame create an incredible, silky homemade base for New England chowders, seafood risottos, and stews.
  • Traditional Cooking & Curing: The ideal starting point for whole-fish outdoor roasting, smoking, or home-curing traditional salt cod (bacalhau).
  • Wild or Farmed: Wild
  • Availability: Year round, but intermittent due to fishing quota and regulations.
  • Package Size: 10 Lb
  • Fish Size: Fish can range between 4 to 10lb in size. You will be given enough fish to make up a 10lb unit.
  • Type: Fresh
  • Presentation: Head on, guts out (the pre-gutting is done on the boat)
  • Harvest Area: Massachusetts State Waters or Iceland
  • Scientific Name: Gadus morhua

Buying a fresh whole Atlantic cod offers the ultimate nose-to-tail seafood experience, allowing home cooks and chefs to harvest distinct, high-value cuts at a lower cost per pound while utilizing the entire fish.

What You Can Do with a Whole Cod:

  • Custom Butchery: Break down 8–15+ lb fish into prime center-cut loins, quick-cooking tail portions, and belly trimmings for tacos or chowder.
  • Harvest Hidden Delicacies: Extract prized cod cheeks (sweet, scallop-like disks) and cod collars (rich, juicy joint meat perfect for grilling).
  • House-Made Stock (Fumet): Simmer the collagen-rich head and frame into a silky, flavorful base for chowders, risottos, and stews.
  • Bulk Freezing & Curing: Vacuum-seal fresh fillets for long-term storage or use traditional methods to make home-salted cod (bacalhau).

The skeleton and head of a whole Atlantic cod are packed with natural collagen that creates a silky, rich base for soups and sauces.

  • Liquid Gold Base: Use the cleaned head (gills removed) and backbone to simmer a classic white fish stock—the essential foundation for New England fish chowders, seafood risottos, bouillabaisse, and poached dishes.
  • Quick & Clean: Unlike beef or chicken bones that require hours of boiling, fish bones yield their full, sweet flavor in just 20 to 30 minutes of gentle simmering with aromatic vegetables (leeks, celery, onion) and white wine.
  • Freeze for Later: Strain the stock, let it cool, and freeze it in quart containers for up to 3 months to instantly elevate future seafood recipes.

All fresh seafood ships via overnight delivery in insulated packaging with gel ice packs to ensure it arrives properly chilled and at peak freshness.

Upon delivery, transfer your seafood immediately to the coldest part of your refrigerator and consume within 1 to 2 days for optimal quality and flavor.
