Most greenlings flesh is of a green color. They are quite tastey.
The lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) can reach 5 ft and 100 lbs. While I
lived in AK, a buddy caught a lingcod that went ~40 lbs. It is a
gnarly fish with razor sharp teeth. I caught a few smaller
greenlings (don't know what species), and most had a green flsh, but
a couple had a bluish tint. If you want to know more about this
fish, give me a shout.
