There are about 70 wrecks on my plotter within easy steaming distance and only ONE of them produces cod with any consistency ................. However, many of the others will produce 10 -15lb Pollock without too much effort .............. We have also found one wreck that consistently produced coalfish in the summer, so it is going to get a winter visit .................

Yes, but a bit firmer and stronger tasting than pollock ................ again, like pollock, foodwise it is the poor mans cod ............
