rock cod
Reef-dwelling seafood fish
Rock cod is a loose term for various bottom-dwelling fish found near rocky seafloors, applied to different species depending on region.
In California, it often means rockfish; in Australia, it refers to certain groupers.
The name describes habitat rather than taxonomy—these fish share an association with rocky reefs but aren't closely related.
We caught some rock cod off the jetty.
