Haddock VS Cod! What’s the difference?
Haddock and Cod are both white fish and look quite similar when you see them in store until you probably look at the tags to see which one it is. That’s why you might wonder if there is really a difference.
The main difference I can illustrate is in taste and texture. Cod fish is firmer in texture than haddock and though they are both mild tasting, haddock fillets have a slightly more prominent fish taste than cod.
Air frying Tips

- Depending on the thickness of the fish fillets, start checking for doneness at 7 mins. add more time as needed.
