I asked a question once on PFIC, what's your favorite fish to eat? The anglers, pier fishermen and those who fish from rocks and surf, declared lingcod the winner while halibut and cabezon finished tied for second. I was a little surprised, I assumed most people would simply choose halibut.
Interesting too was the result in the 2006 PFIC Poetry contest. The winner was a poem about lingcod.
The King by Daniel P. Neal/Orkspace — 1st Place Winner
Beneath the swirling tides there waits a king.
His palace gardens filled with kelp of green.
Supplicants prostrate and fill waiting wings
To bring tribute, else meet his teeth so keen.
At a signal, his honor-beggars bring
Tithes forward, or with his hunger be seen.
Leading the masses, batray's stabbing sting,
Barr'd perch from the waves, with bronze armor sheen,
Anemones on rocks tremble and cling,
Then parades of rockfish entered the scene.
Drums of the croakers, through his halls did ring,
Maiden cabezon, offer'd as his queen.
Gold hooks through his lips, King Lingcod awaits
For your offering, be it lure or bait.
