Cod
Cod has been an important food fish for centuries. Salted and dried, it was a valuable provision on long ocean voyages on which facilities for refrigerating perishable food were lacking. In addition, many people took cod-liver oil to prevent vitamin deficiency. The present-day fish-and-chips industry uses cod extensively.
