Ling – Molva Molva

The ling is a bottom-dwelling fish that belongs to the rockling familiy of cod fishes. It is found at depths of between 60 and 1000 meters, but it is most common at depths of around 350 meters. The taste is comparable to cod and the flesh is relatively firm, which makes it well suited for grilling, frying and poaching.

 

Ling fishing is carried out year-round. Fresh and fillets are the main products but it is also available in salted varieties. Ling is low in fat and is a good source of protein and selenium.
