"Is Alaskan cod the best?"

Silver cod is caught in large quantities on the western side of the North American continent, from Alaska across Canada to Washington, Oregon, and California.

Among them, Alaskan oak is considered to be of particularly high quality.

The water temperature in Alaska is cooler than in other areas, so the fish are said to be rich in fat.

Furthermore, the high quality of Alaskan silver cod, due to the fishing method, is also a factor in its evaluation.

Deep-sea fish are generally caught using a method called "trawl fishing," also known as "bottom trawl fishing," in which a large bag-shaped fishing net is dragged by a boat across the seabed where the fish live, catching them all in one go.

This fishing method is efficient and allows for the capture of a large amount of fish in one go, but the first fish caught is constantly being pulled in the net until it is hauled up, which can cause fish with soft flesh to become congested or split open.

However, Alaska's silver cod is caught using a method called "longline fishing."

This is also known as "fishing," and involves sinking a long rope with a large number of baited hooks attached to it to the bottom of the sea, and then pulling the fish up after a certain amount of time has passed.

This method allows you to catch the fish with almost no damage to the flesh.

These are the reasons why Alaskan beef is so popular.
