It’s a fitting name for a Tavern and restaurant in Marblehead, MA. Cod are a staple New England marine fish, an icon often seen in gold, welcoming guests and representing safety and wealth. Back in 1660 when the original Three Cod Tavern opened for business, the name aimed to lure in local fishermen and boat builders after a hard day’s work.

It is said that during the year 1775 several shots were fired on to the shore from the British warship the H.M.S. Lively. A cannon ball struck the side of the tavern where it was imbedded for many years. Legend says that more than a century later the ball was found when the house was renovated, proving the legend’s truth!
