4. Lingcod Chowder: Create a comforting chowder by simmering lingcod pieces with diced potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, and corn in a creamy broth. Finish with a touch of fresh dill or parsley.

5. Lingcod Ceviche: Marinate diced lingcod in citrus juices (lime, lemon, and orange) until it "cooks" in the acid. Mix with finely chopped red onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and a hint of jalapeno for a refreshing ceviche.
