Raw cod can be found underwater anywhere from the surface down to elevation 32. These mobs will spawn in cold, frozen, lukewarm, and normal oceans in Minecraft, so they aren't too hard to find.

These fish usually spawn in groups of 4-7 and are a tanish color. Players can get raw cod by fishing for it, or taking a different approach and going in the ocean with a sword and killing one.
