You are most welcome Terri. Cod is one of my favorite fish! Great texture and flavor 🙂
We have started eating a lot of cod and this sounds yummy. We don’t cook a lot with curry as it can become overwhelming (and my kids are picky) but the addition of the coconut would probably mellow out the curry to make it kid approved.
Ooh I LOVE curry!! I have never thought to make cod with it!! This sounds absolutely delectable!! Can’t wait to try it!
I never would have thought of combining these two flavors in one recipe.

I love eating fish. But I don’t like coconut and can’t eat peppers.
Not a recipe for you then Sarah. 🙁 Fish is such a wonderful food and scrumptious just drizzled with a little olive oil, with a bit of fresh garlic and cracked pepper, cooked on the barbecue 🙂
Sounds like a good recipe to get picky eaters to try fish!
