3 min read

Codfish is one of the most delicious kinds of seafood around. It is very popular in Singapore and a favourite choice of mums who want to introduce their little ones to seafood. That’s why we thought of bringing you this wonderfully tasty steam cod fish recipe by one of Singapore’s best-known celebrity chefs, Sam Leong, from the leading restaurant group, TungLok. 

But first, here’s a bit about the nutritional qualities of the codfish that is used in this delectable steam codfish recipe. 

Cod fish Nutrition

With a mild, sweet taste, firm flesh and very high nutrition, this fish is perfect for the whole family, even babies who are already on solids. 

Codfish is a superb source of protein. A four-ounce serve of it has over 21 grams of this nutrient. Additionally, it contains vitamin B12, choline and omega-3 fats which are all essential for overall good health, and brain development in little ones.
