IN ITS OWN OIL - ICELAND - 4.3oz
From the clear, cold waters of Iceland’s Westfjord region, sustainably sourced wild cod is caught and brought to the cannery in Isafjordur. While the filets of the fish are prepared to be sold fresh, the livers are preserved through canning. The liver is cut into small pieces, seasoned with salt, and in the canning process its rich oil is expelled and fills the can.
This rich, buttery delicacy is full of Omega-3s and both Vitamins A and D. When we aren’t eating this with a spoon right out of the can (seriously!) we like to spread it on toast with sea salt, lemon and herbs. Butter of the sea.
"Cod liver is the foie gras of the sea. It’s fatty and rich, with a soft, silky, spreadable texture. The flavor is nicely salty and fishy, without much of the muddy, mineral flavor you sometimes get from organ meat. One tester thought it tasted like anchovies and butter...this would make a great party food...try spreading it on toasts with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of herbs. We also liked it over rice." -NYT Wirecutter
