About Common ling

Common ling is a long-bodied marine fish with pale, firm flesh, sold whole, as fillets or in portions. Its flesh is mild in flavour and holds its shape during cooking, making it suitable for baking, frying, grilling or simmering in stews.

Fresh and frozen ling are both encountered, as are salted or dried forms in some markets. These forms have different textures and uses: fresh fillets are moist and mild, while drying or salting firms and seasons the flesh. The name here refers to ling as a fish, not to a product marketed under a similar name.
