  • The article begins with a personal reflection on cod, including Greece’s salted, battered version with garlic sauce.
  • It contrasts cod’s place in Greek tradition with its central role in the economy of a small northern European island nation.

They say cod is an exceptionally healthy food. I prefer it in its unhealthy form: salted, battered, and served with a proper garlic sauce.

In Greece, cod has become associated, for reasons unknown, with the country’s national rebirth. At the other end of Europe, in the far north, it stands at the center of economic activity for a small island nation.
