How to eat cod liver?

Ah, cod liver. My parents used to make us take cod liver oil capsules as children for good health, especially for strong bones. If you're talking about the actual liver, it's not very common in Indian cooking, but abroad they often pan-fry it or bake it lightly. It's rich, so a small portion is usually enough.

Cod liver is generally eaten as oil in capsule form, that's what we usually see. If you mean cooking the actual liver, it's a bit of an acquired taste. You could try simmering it in a light stew or with some simple spices. But frankly, the capsules are much more convenient for getting the benefits.

Before you start eating any organ meats or supplements like cod liver, please consult your doctor. Especially because it's high in Vitamin A, too much can be harmful. It's always best to get professional advice to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your health needs. I learned this the hard way with some other supplements.

Buying fresh cod liver might be hard and expensive here, especially outside coastal areas. The capsules are widely available and much more affordable for getting Omega-3s and vitamins. It's a practical option, saves money on fresh fish which can be costly. Better to invest in regular health checkups instead of exotic ingredients.

Interesting question! I thought cod liver was mostly consumed as oil. If you're looking to cook it, I've seen some Western recipes where they poach it or lightly pan-fry it and serve it on toast. It's quite a rich flavor, so small portions are key. Researching more on this now!
