Alaska Lingcod Fishing

While the majority of our visitors to Tanaku Lodge are after prizes like king salmon, halibut and rockfish, there are many additional types of fish that we catch regularly here in Elfin Cove that are prized as well. One of these is the notoriously toothy, but delicious ling cod! They have an almost prehistoric look to them with their giant, tooth filled mouths and will put up a pretty good fight as well when reeling them in. While the general fish family of cod is a common variety of fish that can be caught all over the oceans around America, lingcod are a unique type that look completely unlike most other fish your average ocean fishing enthusiast will have encountered. Be careful when you pick one up as those teeth are not only numerous, but very sharp (Mitchell pictured here found this out the hard way, but told us the filets from this fish were more than worth a cut or two.)
