What is dorsze?

Dorsze refers to the Polish word for codfish, which is a cold-water species of fish found in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea. The codfish is a popular food fish in many cultures and is prized for its mild and flaky white meat. Dorsze fishing has been a traditional occupation in Poland, particularly in the northern regions, for centuries. Polish fishermen have been known to use sustainable fishing practices to ensure a healthy population of codfish. Currently, the European Union has implemented quotas on the amount of cod that can be caught each year to prevent overfishing. Dorsze is often prepared in traditional Polish dishes such as cod in cream sauce or breaded and fried cod served with potato salad.
