About Chair de morue

Chair de morue means the flesh of cod, a lean marine fish. It is typically white to off-white, with a mild flavour and flakes that separate when cooked. The term can refer to fresh or frozen cod flesh, but it does not by itself identify a species, cut or curing method.

Cod flesh is commonly cooked as fillets or portions, and may also be minced or incorporated into prepared foods. Salt cod is a distinct preserved form: salting and soaking change its texture and flavour compared with fresh cod. The name alone should therefore not be taken to mean salted cod.
