We caught 3 of these fish in 600 ft of water directly outside the town of Bahia de Los Angeles on June 1. Sharp teeth. Ate some last night
spampi-style. Beautiful filets like halibut but very plain tasting. Needs a sauce.

It looks a lot like some of the cod we caught in Prince William sound in Alaska. Possibly a Black Cod? In my opinion, the ones we caught up north
were better than halibut. David K - 6-4-2023 at 05:31 PM

As a current ling cod slayer, these are not ling. I don't have my species book right now otherwise I'd look it up! Will report back when I do.AKgringo - 6-4-2023 at 07:38 PM
Ling Cod are special! I have never caught them as deep as the fish that is the topic of this thread. They don't have a swim bladder and will swim
straight up or down like a polywog.
I would trade two pounds of halibut for one of ling cod. They not only taste great, the texture is superior.stillnbaja - 6-4-2023 at 08:01 PM
Looks like you mutilated that poor fish, turned his gut inside out while still alive, death by torture.
Tell the fat guy that walking barefoot in fishing boat is good way to hurt your feet.

Looks like black cod aka Sable fish. Good eating Santiago - 6-5-2023 at 05:29 AM
Not a ling, don't think they are south of the California current.
Small hack: Lings off the NorCal cost have a slight green tint from the crustaceans' they feed on. Years ago my buddy brought over two fresh ling
fillets he caught that day; put in the fridge for tomorrow's dinner. All day at work I'm thinking of those and just how I'll cook them, get home and
they are gone from the fridge! I ask SWMBO what happened to the fish? She says they were turning green so she thru them out!!!Bwana_John - 6-5-2023 at 09:52 PM
