Calories

The Cod Imperial typically contains 600 to 700 calories per serving, depending on the exact portion size and the preparation method. The addition of the creamy sauce and crab topping increases the calorie content compared to a simple baked cod fillet.

Ingredients

  • Cod Fillet: The primary ingredient in this dish, cod is a mild-flavored, flaky white fish that is light yet substantial. The cod is typically baked or broiled to achieve a slightly crispy exterior while maintaining a moist and tender interior.
  • Crab Meat: The “imperial” part of the dish refers to the rich crab topping, which is made with tender lump crab meat. This adds a touch of sweetness and luxurious texture to the cod.
  • Creamy Sauce: The cod is topped with a creamy, buttery sauce, often made with a blend of ingredients such as butter, cream, garlic, and lemon. This sauce adds richness and depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Parmesan cheese is often incorporated into the topping or sauce, providing a savory, umami flavor that complements the crab and cod.
  • Breadcrumbs: A light dusting of breadcrumbs is typically used to add a crunchy texture to the top of the fish, creating a delightful contrast with the tender cod and creamy sauce.
  • Lemon: A fresh lemon wedge is usually served on the side, allowing you to add a bright, tangy touch to the dish.

Allergens

  • Fish: Cod is the main ingredient in this dish, making it unsuitable for those with a fish allergy.
  • Shellfish: The crab meat topping introduces a shellfish allergen.
  • Dairy: The creamy sauce and the potential use of butter and cheese mean this dish contains dairy, which could be an issue for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
  • Eggs: Some creamy sauces may contain egg yolks, especially if they are emulsified (e.g., in hollandaise-like sauces). It’s best to ask the restaurant for clarification if you have an egg allergy.
  • Gluten: The breadcrumbs used in the topping could contain gluten. If you’re gluten-sensitive or have celiac disease, you should ask for the dish to be prepared without breadcrumbs or inquire about gluten-free options.
  • Soy: Soy-based ingredients may be present in sauces or dressings, so it’s best to check with the server if you have a soy allergy.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter option: If you’re looking to reduce calories or fat, you can request the sauce to be served on the side, allowing you to control the amount of creaminess and richness you add to the dish.
  • For added vegetables: To make the meal even healthier, consider adding a side of steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, or a fresh house salad. This will add fiber and nutrients to the dish without significantly increasing the calorie count.
  • Pairing Suggestions:
    • Wine Pairing: A Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio would be a great wine pairing for Cod Imperial. A crisp, lightly oaked Chardonnay complements the rich, creamy flavors of the dish without overwhelming the mild cod.
    • For a hearty side, you might enjoy garlic mashed potatoes or crispy Brussels sprouts, which pair well with the richness of the cod and crab topping.
    • A squeeze of lemon can help balance the richness of the dish, so be sure to use the lemon wedge provided on the side.
  • For gluten-sensitive diners: If you’re avoiding gluten, ask for the dish without breadcrumbs or check if a gluten-free topping option is available. Also, confirm that the sauce doesn’t contain any gluten or gluten-derived ingredients.
  • For seafood lovers: This dish is perfect for those who enjoy seafood but prefer a milder fish like cod. The crab topping elevates the dish and gives it a more luxurious feel, making it an ideal choice for a special occasion or an indulgent dinner.

The Cod Imperial at Bonefish Grill is a rich and flavorful entrée that combines the mildness of cod with the sweet crab meat and creamy sauce. It’s a perfect choice for those looking for a satisfying seafood dish with a touch of indulgence.
