Plural of cod; multiple Atlantic fish with white flaky flesh, commonly used in cooking and historically important in fishing industries.
From Old English and Middle English coda or codde. The word appears in fishing records from at least the 12th century.
Cod was so important to medieval economies that stockfish (dried cod) was currency in Nordic trade, and wars were fought over fishing rights.
