, BLACK COD. 



The black cod (AnopJopoma fnihria) is quite difToront from the 

 tnio cod, not only as to appearance but particularly in the quality 

 and texture of the flesh. It is very rich in fats and its delicate flavor 

 makes it a favorite table fish in Alaska. It is not recognized as a 

 very numerous species, and no definite fishery exists for it, catches 

 generally being made incidentally by halibut fisliermen. The ])lack 

 cod merits the growing favor with which it is being received generally. 

 During the year shipments have been made from southeast Alaska of 

 fresh, frozen, and pickled black cod.
