Oh for cod's sake!

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 10 May 2013 in Food & Cuisine and Portfolio.

Just another shot of some cod found at a wholesaler at the fish quay in North Shields.
We used to land and sell fish at a small quay in South Shields, but that was many years ago, most fish and chip shops here get their supplies from over the river now.

Cod is a familiar fish in Finland. It is somewhat caught in the Baltic Sea.

Nothing better than a piece of fresh caught cod (in batter) and a portion of golden chips made from localy grown potatoes !! Roll on July when I´m back in West Wales.
