Pouting
A small cousin of cod, very cheap, to cook very fresh.
- Full season: from October to March
- Avoid: no month
- Scientific name: Trisopterus luscus
Choosing well
Clearly visible copper bands; it spoils fast, so cook it the same day.
Sustainable fishing
Plentiful and little sought after: a smart, cheap choice.
Did you know?
Like cod, it has a small barbel under its chin.
