Cod is more expensive than Salmon, one piece of Cod fillet is being sold at usually $20-30 in supermarket.

Codfish, once the stepchild of the kitchen but for years the seafood staple of school lunch lines and fast-food chains, has cracked the culinary it is being served up these days at such food pedigree-conscious places. The once-scorned Codfish is now the food equivalent of diamonds: black caviar.

Years ago there were plenty of cod, and the fish were big. It was a cheap food. Due to greed of commercial fishing, stocks are seriously depleted. To avoid extinction of the species catches are now limited by law. Due to decades of over fishing and catching them when they are too young. The Black Cod also known as Sable fish have been over fished that gov had to step in and list them as near extinction. When this happens, this become listed as no catch. Fish and Wildlife are at all points of fishing (piers, boats, beaches) to check all catches that are brought in. They also make sure you have a license.
