Now I've got a craving for fish & chips. Probably halibut but cod will do.

Actually, the 'fish' used in British Fish & chips is referred to as 'rock salmon' - but is actually a small Dogfish/small shark.

In other news, Right Whales have been spotted off the NJ beaches in the US, and even Whale Sharks, which usually live in far warmer waters than off the North Atlantic coastlines..

The most common is cod, you can get haddock or, as you say rock salmon but they're less common and a little more expensive. Sometimes you can also get Dover sole or plaice too, depending on where the sop is getting its supply from.

I'm in Canada and about 800 km from the ocean. So, it's cod or halibut with the latter being quite pricey. That does it. Fish & chips for lunch. Best ever at Smile's Seafood Cafe in Prince Rupert and right on the docks. Second best, Wembly Stadium for the dog races with my uncle Jim and wrapped in newspaper.

[Wembley]Science. Halibut is firm but slightly flaky. A mild sweetness. Cod is sort of mushy by comparison and a bit oily. Less flavor. Difference in price -- about $4 or $30 including a 15% tip for halibut. At a premium but we're right on the bounday of "don't by seafood more than 500 miles from the ocean." Mushy peas are out of the question. Something weird that the English do. Usually a modest side of coleslaw. . Seafood prices have gone way up in the past few years. As per this post, enjoy it while it lasts or becomes a luxury.
