Fish
Ventral
Cod ventral fillet is the belly-side half—softer, more gelatinous, and better for gentle heat than hard searing. The flake is finer; moisture content is higher than the dorsal side. Steam, poach, or simmer in aromatic broths. A light cure can firm the surface if you need cleaner slices for raw-marinated preparations.
