Fred, the cod are still there though they have been overfished by the draggers. New commercial fishing regulations have brought them back to sustainable stocks as long as the regulations are adhered to. It depends on where you go. For the best cod, those in the know go out for "winter cod" on Stelwagon Bank, due-east of Gloucester, in April and May. At that time there are no parasites in the flesh and it is as pure white as it can possibly be. The stripers have not arrived yet until mid-May and people can concentrate on replenishing their depleted freezer stock of cod.
