These fish have a number of names, and are widely distributed in Ontario. We always used to call them ling. They are a freshwater cod,
We have caught them many times, through the ice, fishing deep water for lake trout and whitefish. There was one time that we decided to try one, so we built a fire on shore and roasted our fish over the fire. While it was edible, it was quite oily, like some ocean fish. The consensus was that it needed salt and a lot more beer. lol
