Contraindication

In spite of its numerous benefits, fresh cod also has some potential contraindications.

The first concerns people with fish allergies, who should obviously avoid it. Another aspect to consider is its cholesterol content: in spite of being lean and low in fat, cod contains about 50 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams.

This isn’t an excessive amount, yet people suffering from high cholesterol or following a low-cholesterol diet should still consult their doctor.
