TBT: Fishing for winter ling
For often ignored angling and tasty fish, try something different this winter by fishing for burbot, or freshwater ling.

Burbot is an awesome-tasting fish with a unique texture that works well with poaching served over a bed of coconut rice.
My friend took me fishing for burbot (also known as freshwater ling and eelpout) and now I’m hooked. The sweet, firm meat makes tasty little fried nuggets.
The burbot (ling, ling-cod, eelpout to some, or lota lota) has a shocking appearance with a bad rap. Ice anglers should try this tasty fish.
