- The Skrei entry limits its January–April window to that migratory cod’s fresh-fish season, not all cod products.
Field notes
Entries attach timing to a particular place and production context: the Tai Zhou morel record identifies greenhouse cultivation, while the Qingdao mackerel entry separates spring and autumn periods. The site also spells out limits that can prevent a season label from overreaching, such as distinguishing fresh peas from canned or frozen supply. Its homepage says the ingredient illustrations are original generated work.
