Rock Greenling, what a cool looking Fish
« on: September 21, 2023, 06:54:36 PM »
An Alaskan fisherman documented a vibrant, orange-speckled catch that has natural blue flesh, and he shared what the fish looks like when cooked.
Joe Chmeleck, owner of The Lodge at Otter Cove, in Homer, Alaska, reeled in a rock greenling late last month, according to posts he shared on Facebook and Instagram.
"Went out fishing today and caught a rock greenling," Chmeleck wrote on Aug. 28. "The flesh is blue. It turns white when you cook it. Mother nature is incredible."
In a follow-up video that Chmeleck posted to Facebook, he showed the fully-skinned blue fish fillets changed color when pan-fried in oil.
Many commenters under his social media posts wrote that they didn’t know a fish species like this existed.
"What a incredible beautiful looking fish," one Facebook user
wrote.

Doesn't a Cabazon have blue meat also and turns white when cooked?

Yeah, very cool! I studied fish alot and used to raise tropical fish for local petshops. Some fish get blue tissue in their body from a bile pigment called biliverdin. It seems to be it's not fully understood but some have it and some don't.  That's an awesome fish either way! Thanks for posting!

On my bucket list to catch is a greenling. I have always thought they were a cool fish.

We used to catch a pile of them off the Westport jetty. Sandshrimp and slip weight. Those were kelps not rocks though I believe

Any greenling would be awesome to me. Have caught quite a few actual lingcod. But always thought greenlings were cool little guys. Just have to designate some time and make a trip for them sometime.

Reading on rock greenling, I guess they are 100% blue fleshed.

I have caught cabs that were blue, green and purple. Caught blue lings also.

Never even heard of a rock greenling but have caught a ton of kelp greenlings. Apparently we have rock greenling here, be curious to hear if anyone has gotten one?

Never even heard of a rock greenling before this post. If we do have them here they must be far and few between  :dunno: caught a ton of kelp greenling over the years, would be cool to catch a rock greenling!

I see the occasional one diving. They are pretty small. The only ones I've caught have been using the 2 inch gulp sand worms mainly targeting striped surf perch.

My trip to Vancouver Island this year we caught a bunch of lingcod that had blue meat. I'd say about 1/3 were. Cooks up just he same and I can't tell any difference.
