I hate to admit it, but RH got me on the family name for Burbot though, The order is Gadiformes, but the family is Lotidae. It has been 35 years since I took fish 401, my bad.


i wasnt saying "Lings" as in "Lingcod" i was saying Lings as "Ling", or "Common Ling", such as the fish that is sometimes used in nasty a$$ Lutefisk....
