Density 81 · +6 vs Fish & seafood median

Raw lingcod scores 81 of 100, a Strong rating that ranks it 19th of 60 in the fish and seafood category. Protein is its defining feature at 35% DV, carried in a lean, mild-flavored fillet.

Lingcod is typically baked, pan-seared or worked into chowders, prized on the West Coast for its firm, flaky texture. A 3-ounce (85 g) serving has just 1.06 g of fat per 100 g, making it one of the leaner white fish options, though that low natural fat also means it dries out quickly if overcooked.
