The Alaskan true cod, also known as Pacific cod, is sustainably harvested in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and the Aleutian Islands. The mild flavor and firm, flaky texture of the Pacific cod is similar to that of the Atlantic cod, but it is leaner, sweeter, and slightly whiter; it is also more tender because of its higher moisture content.
