A Cliff Solo of a Blue Flesh Lingcod

Five years ago, marine ecologist Aaron Galloway surfaced with a ling cod he had spearfished off the coast of Oregon and proceeded to freak out.

.

Endemic to the Pacific coast from Alaska to Baja California — but most abundant in British Columbia waters — ling cod are big-mouthed, feisty, bottom-dwelling fish that make for good sport and good eating.

Though typically mottled-brown red or even greyish-green with white-hued flesh, Galloway’s specimen was a shocking electric blue.

The lingcod grows up to 5 feet and 130 pounds, so it’s a big one. It eats small fish so no wonder they all get away in fear when a lingcod is around. In fact, however, only 20% of lingcods have got blue meat which looks amazing

Lingcods are really tasty. Unfortunately, their meat loses its fantastic color while it’s being cooked. According to experts, the meat tastes a bit like codfish or halibut. Still, it is much more appreciated
