Ingredients 1/2 large cod head (around … Continue reading Oven Roasted Cod Head

Hi!!! School's officially kicking into high gear, but things aren't too crazy yet. So.... I actually had the time (and motivation) to cook! By coincidence, we ran out of meat so my mom spent a good morning picking up some groceries.
