Neither my husband nor I care much for cod even though we love many other kinds of fish and seafood. I bought some frozen Pacific cod filets recently in hope that it was different from Atlantic cod but was disappointed to find out online that it is similar. Since I had it, I went in search of a recipe that would overcome our objections. When I found this one, I just had to make it since it was supposed to taste like lobster. We were surprised to discover that cod prepared this way really does resemble lobster. I loved it, hence the five stars, but true to form, he was still hung up on the fact that it was cod. Too bad. I am going to prepare this again and again anyway because cod is a healthy fish and this is a great recipe. For his sake, I said I wouldn't cook it too often. As for how the recipe works to make cod taste like lobster, I assume it is how the sugar and the two kinds of preparation work together. I just hope the sugar doesn't affect the healthy aspect of the fish too much. I followed the recipe, using the lesser time range for the boiling and broiling. Next time I will try reducing the time just a bit since I think the fish got a bit overcooked and my husband thinks that was a drawback. I think I made two mistakes: I didn't bring the sugar water and cod to a boil fast enough and the fillets I had may have been just under an inch thick (I eyeballed them and thought they were about an inch). Thanks to DHERDEBU for posting this wonderful recipe!
