About This Recipe
Looking for a quick way to cook fish? "Polish Cod" is what you need! This fish recipe has existed since time immemorial and was popular during the Soviet era.

However, the delicate sauce made with butter, egg, and herbs gives the fish an exquisite creamy taste, and the bed of mashed potatoes, also seasoned with butter, balances the lightness and makes the dish hearty. It cooks quickly and is eaten instantly. It remains a mystery who invented this sauce and why it is called Polish. Interestingly, it is not found in any Polish cuisine collection. Moreover, cod is not the most typical fish for this country, where pike-perch is more common. But the recipe is considered Polish. Cook and enjoy the exquisite taste.
