Silky, buttery and incredibly rich, cod liver is often described as the "foie gras of the sea." The texture is wonderfully smooth and delicate, with a clean ocean flavour and an almost pâté-like creaminess that melts on the palate. Despite its richness, good cod liver remains remarkably refined and surprisingly delicate.
 
Serving Suggestion
Serve chilled on toasted sourdough with a squeeze of lemon and cracked black pepper, or spread generously onto warm rye bread with finely sliced shallots and capers. It also makes a luxurious addition to a simple potato salad, where its natural oils become part of the dressing.
 
Wine Pairing
A Loire Valley Chenin Blanc provides enough freshness and texture to balance the richness of the cod liver beautifully. For an Australian match, a cool-climate Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley works wonderfully, its citrus and gentle creaminess complementing the luxurious texture of the fish.
