[cool][#0000ff]Sorry Geoff, you got your ding a lings mixed up. The ling cod off the pacific coast is not even remotely related to the "ling" or burbot being discussed. That ling is more closely related to the "true cod" off both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. They have similar firm, white, flaky flesh that is very mild. It is highly prized as an ice fishing target throughout the upper midwest. Here are a couple of pics.[/#0000ff]
