Cod is a valuable commercial fish that plays a significant role in the fishing and medical industries. It is caught on a large scale in the coastal waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, in the Baltic, Barents and White Seas. Cod lives up to 25 years and reaches a length of up to two meters, but in the industry more and more fish 30-40 centimeters come across, and from three to ten years old.

Salted cod is loved all over the world not only by culinary experts, but also by eaters directly, for its excellent taste and positive effect on the body (calorizer). Salted cod, in producing countries, is divided into a number of varieties, depending on the method of salting. The best is the "extra" (premium), which is made only from freshly caught fish, while other varieties can be salted from previously frozen cod. Salted cod is left in water for forty-eight hours, while changing it often so that salt comes out of the meat. Lovers of saltier meat soak fillets in water for less time.
