Cods are divided between the Atlantic Cod and the Pacific Cod mainly. However there are many others like the Artic Cod, the Rock Cod, the Tadpole Cod etc, etc, etc.

The Cod has a reputation to be a healthy Fish. Hence we did end up with a pet hate of many children past and present: the Cod Liver Oil, with their parents telling them that it was good for them... and the Chidren for most pulling a face. Anyhow such is life. The other aspect which did earn the Cod its fame for being one Fish which is good for you is because it contains Vitamins A, D and E but olso Omega 3.
