Shirako aka Fish Milt aka ATLANTIC COD SPERM of course!

| Did somebody say Cod Milt?! NOW I'M HUNGRY!! |

Codfish start spawning during January in North Atlantic breeding zones such as the Bristol Channel and the Irish Channel. This timeline puts us in prime cod milt season right NOW.

| Holiday Cheer from GTFB. |
I dont want to gross you out, but this passionate ritual involves the male fish grunting and swimming in circles. Got it? Good.
 |
| Milt in it's natural state. |
Explore a gamut of cooking techniques with your dearly beloved COD MILT this holiday season.
