Deep Fried Cod, Bacon Scallops, Cod Tongues & Cheeks | Traditional Newfoundland Feast

There’s nothing quite like a traditional Newfoundland seafood fry-up. Today we’re cooking a hearty feast of deep fried cod and chips, bacon-wrapped scallops, and two classic local delicacies—cod tongues and cod cheeks. This kind of meal has long been a favourite in coastal communities across Newfoundland, especially when fresh cod is on hand. Cod tongues and cod cheeks have been enjoyed here for generations. Despite the name, cod tongues are not actually tongues but a small, tender muscle from the fish’s throat, known for their unique texture and rich flavour. Cod cheeks, found just below the eye, are another prized cut—delicate, sweet, and often compared to scallops. For this traditional spread, we batter and deep fry fresh cod fillets until golden and crispy, serve them with homemade chips, wrap scallops in bacon for a smoky seafood bite, and pan fry the cod tongues and cheeks the way many Newfoundlanders grew up eating them. It’s simple food, but it’s full of flavour and history. Meals like this are part of the Newfoundland lifestyle—gathering in the kitchen, cooking fresh local seafood, and sharing the foods that have been passed down through generations. If you enjoy traditional Newfoundland recipes, classic comfort food, and simple old-fashioned cooking, you’re in the right place.
