Antarctic toothfish and French silver cod are particularly rich in calcium; in fact, their entire bodies contain only a single cartilage rod, and it is within this cartilage that the calcium is concentrated. This type of calcium differs from the synthetic calcium found in most calcium supplements, which are more limited in their absorption and utilization. By contrast, the calcium in these fish is finer in structure, making it easier for the body to absorb and utilize—especially during colder weather, when children and the elderly need extra calcium to maintain strong legs and overall good health.
Ingredients: silver cod, cooking oil, salt, barbecue seasoning
Step 1: Freeze the Antarctic toothfish. French silver cod is a special kind of fish; its skin has a sand-like texture, so you must first blanch it in boiling water and then scrub it with a steel wool pad to remove it.
Step 2: Remove the innards, rinse thoroughly, and slice into approximately 1-cm pieces.
Step 3: Add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the sliced sea bass fillets in the pan and fry over low heat. Be sure not to rush and use high heat—otherwise the fish will easily burn.
Step 4: Once the fish has firmed up, evenly sprinkle a small amount of table salt over both sides of the fish fillets.
Step 5: Continue frying the silver cod on both sides until golden brown, then remove from the pan and serve.
Step 6: Before tasting, you can sprinkle on your favorite toppings.
Tip:
1. Silver cod requires a somewhat special preparation: it is usually sold fresh-frozen, so it must be thawed before handling. Be sure to thoroughly remove the sandy scales on the surface, or they’ll crunch unpleasantly when you eat it.
2. When pan-frying silver cod, use low heat and cook slowly—don’t rush, or it will burn. Flip the fish frequently to ensure even browning.
3. Feel free to sprinkle your favorite dipping sauce over it before tasting.
