Well then it is time for something new and easy to replace that tradition fried cod. We really enjoy cooking something simple when the days grow shorter and the weather cooler. This is a great time to get fresh East coast cod from your fishmonger. Give this dish a whirl and serve it with some wonderful roasted squash like acorn or butternut to really enjoy the flavors of fall. As with any of our recipes the fish can be changes, try to use a large flake fish that will oven roast and stay succulent.
