Originally known as cod. The Atlantic was added later to distinguish this species from the related but distinct Pacific cod.
Meanings
-
(uncountable, usually) A sea fish, the Gadus morhua.
Basques were not the first to cure cod. Centuries earlier, the Vikings had traveled from Norway to Iceland to Greenland to Canada, and it is not a coincidence that this is the exact range of the Atlantic cod.
