Looks like a ling to me.

Yep Ling, good eating but would want to keep much smaller than that.

Thanks, I think I'll steam it up today.

Toygtr, Just saw your ling on the other post, it's BIG! Would have been hard to hold still for a pic if it was anything like mine, all slimy and slithery.

How big do they get?

Think they can up to a meter or something like that. Not really a common fish to get, a lot of people mistake rock cod for ling and take them home to eat.
Rock cod, no good
Ling, good

Thanks all, always nice to catch a new species. If I had a marine tank I would've tried keeping it, the markings are quite nice.
