NEWKID 27,378 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Very similar to cod mate, can be cooked all the same ways, firm white flesh but the skins a lot tougher.. Nice fish that mate Quote Link to post

RubyTex 1,957 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 A bloke I know was out about 2 miles off Crimdon on Saturday and Sunday and was pulling loads in apparently ... the macky bashers will soon be upon us lol Quote Link to post
robbo 867 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ling have bones nearly to the end of the fillet so I cut mine into two strips by cutting either side of the bones. This leaves you with two boneless pieces of fish and a little strip with all the bones in it.. I prefer it to cod myself. Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I have never filleted a ling, so had a look on the net came up with this site.

8shot 192 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 you need a really sharp knife for the ling. . but fillet from the top of the fish and just keep following the back bone will leave you a nice boneless fillet 1 Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Check out preparing Gurnard in the link, that is how I do it, and they are one of the best tasting fish in the sea, along with a John Dory that is. TC Edited June 26, 2014 by tiercel 1 Quote Link to post

TC Agree gurnard is lovely.... Bass or bream are probably my faves though.. And not forgetting a fresh mackerel.... must be fresh though Quote Link to post
