About Fish, ling, raw
Ling is a large, slender ocean fish from the cod family, found across the North Atlantic around Iceland, the Faroe Islands, the British Isles, and the Norwegian coast. Its firm, white, flaky flesh has a mild flavor much like cod, and the two are considered interchangeable whether fresh, salted, or dried. This versatility has made ling a staple of northern European cooking for centuries, most famously as the dried, lye-cured lutefisk served at Christmas across Sweden, Norway, and Finland, while the salted roe is a delicacy in Spain.
Nutritionally, ling is a lean source of high-quality protein along with vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, and iodine, and it carries very little fat. The sturdy fillets stand up well to baking, poaching, frying, and hearty fish stews and chowders. Because the flesh is naturally lean, it is best cooked gently and served the moment it turns opaque and flakes easily, dressed simply with lemon, butter, and fresh herbs.
