I'm not ready to commit to Lingcod. Halibut has been part of my life forever; I'm sure it was an early solid food of mine--will have to ask Mom and Dad.
Used this recipe from ASMI:
First made Halibut along with this amazing jicama and mango salad that B loved. I also enjoyed it, but it was a bit labor-intensive getting everything into matchsticks.
I hadn't had lingcod since we lived in JNU previously and fished on the coast. Here's me with my first lingcod in five years:

I wanted to compare apples to apples, so we had the leftover halibut from the recipe above and cooked up the lingcod using the same recipe (less cooking time). Lingcod is flaky, HUGE flakes; moist, moist, moist; and firm, giving you something to chew on. In comparison, halibut is a bit more dry (which could be why I LOVE my momma's tartar sauce with it), dense, and while still firm, perhaps more on the "chewy" side just because it doesn't flake the same.
I love halibut. Lingcod is delicious... I need more lingcod meals to fully commit to it over halibut. B heard a famous hunter/fisher say that Lingcod is in his top 10 of all fish... I don't disagree.
