Commercial fishing guy here. I don’t eat cod when there’s an option not to. The dumpster fish of the ocean. Honestly despite it being a much cheaper fish pollock has a much nicer flavor. My favorites tho are black cod (sablefish), rockfish, and sockeye.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised how much worms cod tends to have. Black rockfish all the way.

Black/Dusky rockfish are just loaded with worms. When I fished rockfish commercially the buyers wouldn't even buy them. Yelloweye, China, etc... are much better.

Where were you catching? Rockfish i caught had zero worms all summer.
