These Freeze Dried Cod Fillets are current production and not over-runs. They were manufactured in 2025 by a large military defense contractor. 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!
Preparation: To prepare the cod, just soak it in lukewarm or cold water for 60 minutes and cook. We've found that although great with only a 60 minute soak, some pieces may need a little more time to rehydrate completely. We recommend to rehydrate fillets until they look like store-bought pieces. These fillets are perfect for grilling or frying. They also can be cooked in a saute pan and finished in the oven, or even broiled. It is completely up to you how you want to prepare them - the possibilities are endless. Once rehydrated, they look just like cod fillets you would get at your grocer's deli. You can expect 25+ years shelf life as long as the fillets are sealed in the can - and probably as many as 30 to 40 since there is no water or oxygen in the can to spoil them!!!
Once opened they will last:
- up to 1 year in a Zip Lock bag with refrigeration once opened but not re-hydrated
- up to 60 days in a zip lock bag without refrigeration once opened, but not re-hydrated
- up to 5 days in the fridge once they are re-hydrated.
These are perfect for storing and using for many years! You can have great tasting food in seconds with no mess and no waste - and it doesn't matter if the power goes out!! You can open just one can at a time and in 60 minutes cook one or as many of these as you want however you would cook any other fresh seafood!!! Perfect for camping, boating, traveling, or at the cabin.
Remember, consuming raw or undercooked seafood may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Let customers speak for us
from 103 reviewsGreat stuff, usually much better than description and if not, they have great customer service. I am generally a really grumpy old man with a terrible attitude but I have not been disappointed by Forest City Supply products or customer service on the rare occasions its needed (but they are quick to respond and reconcile any problems!). The world may be going to hades but I will do it well equipped. I highly recommend them.
Order arrived on time and in good condition
Both the intermediate cold sleeping bags & the bivy covers conditon were better than anticipated
The Ruck appears to be a new one. I was expecting a used one. The price was well worth it.
Saw this brand new woobie and added it to my cart without thinking. Heard these had been found and other surplus sites have them listed for way more. No wonder they sold out so fast. Definitely a new favorite site.
Great deal on a perfectly good pack. Condition exactly as described with one small tear that doesn't impact functionality at all. Can't believe the prices these guys have with fast shipping as well. Recommended to a ton of friends who also picked some up. Will continue to use going forward for surplus needs.
Shipping was super fast, and the description of the item was spot on. Very happy with my purchase.
My son's should be here very soon.
I expected pretty used gear. They don’t appear to be used at all. And the shipping was quick.
Fast delivery, great gear, awesome value.
I couldnt ask for a better experience!
