The best way is to make sure you have the time to do it this way. This way you can reduce the risk of bacteria getting into your food. Thaw it out in the refrigerator.

You want to keep it in the refrigerator under 40F while thawing. I typically will take a fillet directly from frozen to cooking if possible. The fillet is thin enough to thaw right in the pan while cooking.

What is a cod loin?

When a fish as large as a cod is prepared, you get the same kinds of fillets that you would see from a trout (for example), but much much bigger! Because the fillets are so large, they tend to be cut into smaller units. In this case the 'cod loin' are simply cuts taken from the middle part of a filleted cod side. This is considered to be the best part of the cod. I would have to say however that currently cod are considered a 'vulnerable' species, and if intensive fishing continues at current levels they will probably be extinct in the next 50 years. Please let these fine fish renew their population and try another alternative if possible.
