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.  

With a mild flavor it is second only to smaller in the West Coast markets.  The meat is tender yet firm and a little chewy with large soft , moist flakes.  The flesh sometimes has a greenish color but cooks up white.
