Lingcod are dark gray, brown, or greenish on the back with some copper-colored mottling or spotting along the upper back. This local ling cod has light white, meaty flesh. Though technically not in the Cod family, it has a similar clean tasting flesh without the characteristic big flakiness of the Cod family.
Because Ling cod is a lean fish, it does well gently baked or pan seared and finished with a butter based sauce to add some richness. It also does well in fish soups, chowders and cioppino.
Store your seafood in the coldest part of the refrigerator at 32 degrees for up to 3 days.
In the refrigerator we recommend removing the fillets from their packaging and wrapping them carefully in 2 layers of paper towels to absorb any moisture and firm the fish up for cooking and consuming.
If you don’t plan to consume the fish within 3 days, simply place in the freezer.
To thaw: place seafood in the refrigerator overnight.
