My wife and I tried the cod in a seafood stew over the winter and it was incredible. It is cod, so it does smell a bit fishy, but the taste was perfect. So we decided to smoke the fillets over charcoal and hickory last weekend to see how it would taste. The result was incredible. We simply placed the cod on the grill (over coals and hickory chips) and cooked each side for 5 minutes. The flavor was nice, but after the cod was allowed to cure overnight with the smoke, the cod developed an intense hickory flavor that has restaurant quality flavor. It's perfect for fish tacos or po'boys, with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, dill pickles and a nice siracha aioli. This cod is now a weekly part of our diet. What a great discovery!

Beware and be careful. We purchased this and the date still said it was good for another week but clearly this fish was rotten. I opened the package and the smell was terrible. My wife almost vomited. My mother is Japanese so I’ve been to some of the smelliest fish markets but I have never smelled anything this bad. It took a full day, a can of Lysol, to get the smell out of the house. My trust in the quality of fish from Sam’s may never be the same. I will continue to shop at Sam’s but will avoid the fresh seafood.

Bought this thinking it would be incredible, it leaked in my fridge (the same day I bought it) which literally made my refrigerator smell for a month! I do not understand how “fresh fish” could smell so horrible. After that I just couldn’t possibly attempt to cook it with how bad it smelled. $32 in the trash. Threw it right out. Do not buy

Upon opening, the cod smelled extremely fishy. We have purchased cod before, and had a very bad experience, so we were very worried. We rinsed and patted dry and cooked. We were pleasantly surprised at the taste, very mild. We were very happy with the taste. We have learned to purchase only when Use By Date is a week out.

I’ve had a few purchases of the card where I left it in the refrigerator before freezing and it’s already turned sour so the date should be a little bit longer or shorter for a quick sale because Cod does turn Quickly I’m from the north and I enjoy northern Fish

I have had cod straight from the bering sea, Gulf of Alaska, and Larsen's Bay. This was fishy and nasty tasting, which tells me it wasn't handled correctly. Still waiting for sam's to give me a refund. I bought on the 5th and cooked on the 6th. The warning sign should have been it's pungant fish smell when I opened the package.

Bought this 3 times. Frist time fishy smelling but better after rinsed off. Ate and tasted good. Second time, much more fishy smelling. Froze to return, and even frozen inside another plastic bag made freezer stink of fish. Tried one more time with over a week left till sell by date. Same experience as the first time. Will not buy again. Wish Sam's Club would get their vendor to fix the issue.

Smells like death. Zero stars

It had gone bad and had to return it. No issues returning it but disappointing

Smelled so bad. 2 weeks later, I can still smell it in my fridge.
