Traditional Newfoundland Stuffed Codfish
Traditional Newfoundland stuffed Cod with savoury dressing ( stuffing) and wrapped in smoked bacon, baked in a 350° to 400° for 20 minutes for every one pound of cod or fish of choice or until golden brown.

This stuffed cod was a little over a pound and I baked it in the oven for 30 minutes, it’s important to check in between the allotted time so you can be sure the fish is at the prefect temperature because everyones oven is different. You can use fresh cod or fish of choice or frozen cod but be sure you thaw the cod all the way and remove the bone from the back and then follow the cooking and cleaning process, your cod should not be freezer burned and make sure you check the date for freezing time.

When you are cooking any seafood it should smell fresh not fishy’ a fishy smell on seafood means it’s old and it will not taste good. Maybe check with the sales person first before buying your fish, or buy at your local seafood store to get good quality seafood.

Stuffed Cod
Traditional Newfoundland Stuffed Cod whipped in smoked bacon, then baked in the oven until golden brown, topped off with drawn butter, drawn butter is pretty much a gravy but made with a few simple ingredients.

“Years ago this was a popular meal in most east coast homes, when the fishermen docked into the wharf people gathered around to get the first choice in cod.”

I can’t remember my parents ever freezer their cod or any seafood when they got it that was pretty much the meal of the day. My Dad was an organic farmer and spent day and night in his garden making sure his vegetables was the best it could be. So this was pretty much a match made in heaven fresh seafood and fresh vegetables and my mom would have a batch of homemade bread coming out of the oven, then topped off with butter dipping down over it. Mmmmmm so delicious!

      I am happy to have found your video and recipe. I like to try your methods and flavors. I have never used bacon on fish but it sounds yummy and your sauce is also new for me. I will give them a try. I wish you well.

        Hi Cheryl, You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by and welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed our recipe for stuffed cod, this is a lovely and easy recipe to follow. Bacon just give it a lovely flavour and rolling it around the full cod also keeps it together and you don’t lose your stuffing. Enjoy 🙂 Bonita

      I have done this with lake trout, about 2 to 3 lb. Tarragon in the stuffing. It worked VERY well.
      Another option is to omit the bacon, wrap it in aluminum foil, pour an ounce of white wine into the foil package. The foil package can be cooked on the barbeque.
