What does cod liver taste like?

I haven't personally tried cooked cod liver, but I've heard it's quite rich and has a strong, distinctive fish flavor, more intense than cod fish meat. It's considered a delicacy by some. Just like with any new food, listen to your body and introduce it slowly if you're trying it.

Bete, cod liver, some people like it, some don't. It is very rich, like a paté, and tastes strongly of the sea. Very healthy, they say, for strength. My grandmother used to tell us to eat it for good health, but we preferred simple home food.

From what I understand and have been told by nutritionists, actual cod liver is very rich in texture and has a distinct, strong 'fishy' or 'marine' taste, often described as briny. It's usually prepared in ways that complement this richness, like smoked or in pâté. It's quite different from cod liver oil, which is just the extracted oil.

I actually tried it once in a fancy restaurant, haha! It's super soft, almost like a really rich, oily spread. The taste is very intensely fishy, not like regular fish, more like the essence of the ocean. It's not for everyone, but if you like strong flavors, you might enjoy it!
