What type of fish is this? - jacob64 - 08-04-2010
I caught the fish in the link on a clam and cod hook a few miles past the Isles of Shoals in Maine/ Newhampshire.
What is it?

that appears to be a pollock or pollack, a member of the cod fish family. they can grow to near 3 feet and are a deep bodied fish. they have also become populare table fare due to overfishing of other types of cod and haddock.

Thanks but I have caught lots of Pollock and this does not look like a Pollock. Any other ideas?
