codfishes

Cold-water food fish

Codfishes is simply the plural of codfish, a large cold-water fish prized for its mild white flesh.

While "cod" alone typically suffices for both singular and plural, codfishes appears when emphasizing multiple individual fish or different species within the cod family.

The fishermen hauled in several codfishes before noon.

The term evokes traditional Atlantic fishing grounds and remains common in culinary and commercial contexts.
