Military Surplus Freeze Dried Alaskan Wild Caught Cod

These Freeze Dried Alaskan Wild Caught Cod Portions are current production military surplus, not over-runs. They were manufactured in 2026 by a large military defense contractor. Harvested from the icy waters of the North Pacific and Bering Sea, this premium wild caught cod was expertly portioned, boned, skinned, flash frozen, and freeze dried to preserve its natural flavor, texture, and nutritional value. The result is delicious, tender, flaky, snowy white cod that is lightweight, easy to store, and ready to rehydrate whenever you need it!

These natural cod portions are uncooked, boneless, and skinless, making them incredibly versatile and convenient to prepare. With its mild, subtly sweet flavor and firm, delicate flakes, Alaskan cod is a favorite for everything from fish and chips to fish tacos, chowders, soups, and hearty seafood meals. Best of all, you can enjoy this premium seafood without needing a freezer or worrying about a power outage. Get this exceptional military sourced seafood exclusively at MREdepot!

We just purchased the only available lot of these fillets directly from the only Defense Reutilization Office (DRO) Source. Although actual use is always classified on these kinds of products, our information is that these were purchased in the past for the Executive Branch use, not for our troops in the field. That usually means these went to underground bunkers for continuity of government use by strategic military leaders, congressional members and sometimes even White House staff or leadership. As always, we opened several cans to try these out before we offered them to you, and these fillets are amazing: tender, flaky, light, and very tasty, and as fresh as the day they were flash frozen and dehydrated! 

These Freeze Dried Alaskan Wild Caught Cod Portions are an exceptional find for anyone who appreciates high quality seafood and wants to keep a dependable supply of protein on hand. Freeze drying removes moisture while helping preserve the cod's natural characteristics, making it lightweight, compact, and ideal for emergency food storage, camping, boating, RV trips, cabins, and everyday pantry preparedness. This is not your average shelf stable fish product. You get premium wild caught cod in convenient natural portions, carefully prepared and packaged for long term storage. There is no skin to remove, no bones to pick through, and no freezer space required. Simply take out the amount you need, rehydrate, and prepare it just as you would fresh cod.

Preparation: To prepare the cod, soak the desired portions in lukewarm or cold water for 60 minutes, then cook thoroughly. Some pieces may require additional soaking time to rehydrate completely. We recommend rehydrating the cod until the portions resemble the appearance and texture of fresh cod. Once rehydrated, these versatile portions are perfect for frying, grilling, sautéing, baking, or broiling. You can also add them to fish chowder, seafood stews, soups, and other favorite recipes. For crispy fish and chips, coat the rehydrated portions in your favorite batter and fry until cooked through. For a lighter meal, season with your favorite spices and prepare fish tacos or a delicious seafood dinner. The possibilities are practically endless! You can expect 30 years shelf life as long as the fillets are sealed in the can - and probably as many as 40 since there is no water or oxygen in the can to spoil them!!! 

Alaskan cod is naturally lean and provides high quality protein along with beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. Its mild flavor makes it an excellent choice for the whole family, while its versatility means you can create countless meals from a single pantry staple.

• up to 1 year in a Zip Lock bag with refrigeration once opened but not re-hydrated
