The Ling Cod is actually a Pacific greenling. The Latin name translates as elongated snake tooth, referencing the canine looking teeth that line the fish's mouth.
The principal season for lingcod runs from October to May in the North and April to October in California. Quality Beware of meat that is brownish or reddish in color as this is a sign the fish is old or was not properly bled.
