turskukala

Turskukala is the Finnish word for cod. Cod is a common name for any of the three species of Atlantic cod, Pacific cod, and Greenland cod. These are demersal, or bottom-dwelling, fish belonging to the genus Gadus. They are typically found in colder, shallower waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. Turskukala is a commercially important species, widely consumed as food. Its flesh is known for its white, flaky texture and mild flavor. In Finnish cuisine, turskukala is prepared in various ways, including fried, baked, and in stews. Historically, cod has been a staple food source for many coastal communities, contributing significantly to their economy and diet. The fishing of turskukala has been subject to regulations due to concerns about overfishing in some regions.
