Yes, cod is a lean protein that is full of vitamins and minerals. It doesn’t have as many Omega-3’s as some other forms of seafood, but it is still a good choice for those of us trying to eat a healthier diet. It can be a part of a great healthy meal when served with appropriate sides but the preparation of this fish is truly what makes or breaks the "healthy" ranking factor. For example, deep frying cod is far less healthy than oven baking because of all of the added fats.
