Notes
If ever there were a fish with an identity crisis, it’s the lingcod, a species that is neither a cod nor a ling. Rather it’s a Pacific greenling, from the family Hexagrammidae. Lincod ranges from Baja California to Kodiak Island and the Aleutian Peninsula. Lingcod can grow to 90 pounds but typical market size is around 10 pounds. This lean, white fish is similar to halibut and is a favorite of many West coast chefs, many of whom prefer it to halibut. The firm, snow-white flesh is delicious in fish and chips, and can also be grilled or baked with excellent results.
