After my family moved to upstate New York when I was entering high school, we suddenly found ourselves with a “fish man.”
Or at least that’s what my brother and I called him.
He sold fresh catch right from his car and would visit our house about every other week.
My mother loved the convenience. But can you imagine buying fish from some guy — right out of his car nowadays?!?
Seriously folks, times have changed!
But what hasn’t changed is the fact that I love cod.
I really do!
I can bake it and throw some lemon on it and be done. But you won’t want to miss out on this delish cod parmesan recipe.

That sounds so yummy! I made something very similar with haddock last week. We have occasionally had a “meat” guy show up and offer to sell us meat out of the back of his truck… I didn’t take him up on his offer though wondering where on earth he got the meat to sell. LOL.
Looks amazing!
