GIANT Alaskan SEA DRAGON! Catch Clean Cook (Ling Cod)

[@johnlshilling1446]

I just watched the Alaska Halibut C, C, and Cook, prior to this video. I was sooooo happy to see how wonderful the trip went for you and yours... The cook 'n' eat with family and friends was the perfect demonstration of the Best Things In Life... Then.., I anxiously awaited the Ling Cod C, C, and Cook. I was hoping that you would catch a female. They have a translucent Emerald Green Flesh! It's amazing and shocking the first time you see it.., (Green Fish and Ham..! But then, it turns white when cooked) I had to smile when everyone agreed that Ling Cod tasted better than Halibut. That was the surprise I was waiting for! I chuckled when you were leary because of the "slimy" first impression. They are The Best. Period. I think that's why they've been over fished in the West Coast waters... They were one of the first species to be nearly wiped out in the Lower 48 waters. There used to be an entire industry built around Ling Cod commercial fishing... Because!!! 🎶 "They're The Best That's Ever Been. 🎶 And! They're still doing well in Alaska's waters. We can only hope and pray that limits and regulations can allow them to recover, here in the Pacific North West waters... 🙏 Thanks again for the trip down memory lane. You --- DO --- have the best job, BTW. Happy for you. ☺️

I love how he effortlessly gaffed that fish and when you started talking he had to pause with the bat in his hands lol.

One of the best Ling Cod Catch Cook and Cleans we have seen! And the meal looked delicious.

[@restoretheearth2829]

Wow, I have no clue why you came up in my utube feed. I am a native Texan but my dad was 3/4 Finnish American 1/4:Swedish and my mother 3/4 German and 1/4 Swedish so I am drooling over all the fish and glaciers, too. Finns eat fish for breakfast , lunch and dinner. Happy video , guys!!

[@jefflowney2114]

Man you're not just a great fisherman you're an awesome cook!

[@scienzchic1]

Totally agree!

[@stevemacdaddy9909]

Here in NW Montana we have fresh water ling cod in our reservoir. But when I went to fish for King crab in the Bering sea the first thing we did was rig ten pots for cod ,,we caught 10,000 pounds of cod just to use for bait with a mix of herring and cigar minnow. God bless my young friend Nick Mcglashin. RIP. Nice video guys

[@charlieb1613]

You kids are great! You travel the world to fish and record the events for us. Thanks you so much! The things you and Brooke do I’ll never do in my lifetime so I completely enjoy your videos. Thank you both so very much. Now if only you could come and cook for my wife and I!

I absolutely love fishing for lingcod above all else. You should check out using a copper pipe jig next time you go out, most successful jig for ling cod I’ve ever used.

[@littlegoobie]

I spend the entire winter watching all of these and by the early spring, i'm all stoked to get started on the new fishing season. I'm so lucky that AK is a such a popular fishing destination for out of state and residents. There's no shortage of channels putting out new videos and content every year.

[@Shortdraw01]

There is nothing more fun than jigging the rock piles for lings. Glad you got the cheeks! Not many people do that here.

[@brendanwoerner3352]

I’ve had lingcod and halibut side by side years ago in Alaska fresh off a charter boat. My friend prepared it with a basic recipe that was a bake with salt, pepper and lemon. Hands down lingcod is the best tasting fish in Alaska. Halibut and salmon are both good. But… Lingcod is more flavorful and has a natural oil in the meat similar to blackcod that makes it melt in your mouth with 0 aftertaste. My favorite fish hands down!!

[@steez5769]

Also I think cod is better battered and deep fried whereas halibut is better baked or grilled.

[@mahersalthomas1739]

My uncle brought back Lingcod. It’s very good. I love Halibut, Flounder, Sea Bass, Striped Bass Rainbow trout, Sockeye Salmon, Pink Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, King Salmon. But Lingcod is so great tasting.

[@timmaggard8862]

[@michaelinklee1]

You want to bump up your Asian flavor profile, start using Oyster Sauce (1/2 tbsp) and a 1 tsp of sugar to your marinades.

[@michaelinklee1]

Also salt cure your fish in the fridge for an hour. It will extract extra moisture and firm up fish.

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip

Try some Chinese style steamed fish. Fish in a foil pan sesame oil soy sauce Cilantro N ginger Green onions Bake at 350 degrees for 25 min Heat peanut oil while it cooks Add more cilantro n green onions n fresh sliced ginger for the green flavor N finally hit all that w the hot peanut oil. Serve over hot sticky rice or potatoes👌🏾👌🏾 The peanut oil brings out all the green flavors n adds a nice sizzle for everyone eating it. I’ve cooked it for a lot of friends in hawaii n recently too it to Oregon n did it w rock fish n ling cod!! Definitely a good dish if you love greens n ginger Would love to seen you guys try something amazing w a cold water white meat fish meat for this style of cooking. A lot of time we cook the fish whole if it’s the right size for the pan🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@MrOpihi808]

Cilantro n Green onions should be about 2 bunches each maybe three bunch of cilantro if you like the taste. Load it n you’ll love it…but only if you like the taste of cilantro, green onions, n ginger. Made this for a lot of my friends in oregon n they loved it. The flaky white meat fish handles all these flavors n ingredients very well. I forgot to say cover the fish with foil to steam it. Give it a try n shout me out if it is as good as we think it is👌🏾🤙🏾

[@t89841313]

Lol, still recall the first three foot lingcod, to come into the boat. Fishing for sole/rockfish on the bottom and my buddy was drifting a herring, half up, in the water column. Expecting a salmon it was quite comical when two of us recoiled to the bow while he was yelling "net it". Certainly a prime eating fish and fun to catch.

[@ddevilxdude]

Not gonna lie, I'm a professional Chef and you really did a great job with this one..... I can tell just by what you put in it, the measurements by my eyes, the choice of flavour proflle. You did well my friend, especially with the choice of Asian curry! The specialists in fish curry.

Oh, man! My heart was already pounding when you caught the Dragon. Never seen it before. What a beautiful fish that grew for many many years just for you. But the rest of the video was amazing! The respect you display for your catch is, well, beyond words. That's what we all should do when fishing: all the adrenaline and passion of the process is transformed into pure joy for friends and family. That dish is something I might never even be close to, but I'll try your recipe with grouper. Chapeau!

Ling cod baked or sauteed is awesome. I prefer eating halibut battered and fried. Another great eating white flaky fish is sable fish, also known as black cod. They are much smaller, more like the smaller ling cod you caught. I would never have thought to cook a fish in a sweet soy type marinate to be served over curry potatoes, might have to try it some time. Looked great!

[@michaelmoser7892]

Victor my dude here's the Strat on lingcod. To clean one take a knife with the fish on its stomach Ram it through the head and nail it to the dock. Hunting knife works best. Wring the neck like a deer leg just cutting through the skin slightly deep complete circle grab some pliers and pulled the skin off like taking the pants off of a bullfrog. Then fillet total game changer.

You two are so good at appreciating and sharing the amazing experiences you have. Doing it really well. 👍 I grew up hiking and fishing in the Uinta and Wasatch mountains of Utah. I’ve caught lots of trout in my life. But, The fish you guys catch blow my mind! I went salmon fishing on the Oregon coast once with some friends. The most exciting fishing I’ve ever done. When you have a King or Silver salmon on the line, you can feel the power. Been to Alaska once. It was a family trip on a cruise ship, so we were pretty insulated from the real Alaska. But still, the beauty of the landscape! 🤯 Your videos are definitely inspiring me to plan some trips! Alaska, baby!
