About this work
Pouting (Trisopterus luscus), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. Poutings belong to the cod family (Gadidae) and are found predominantly in European waters, especially around the south and west of the British Isles and in Scandinavian waters, although they can also be found in the Mediterranean and along the north African coast. It's generally a small fish, seldom exceeding 30 centimetres (12 in) in length. They forage for any food source they can find with marine worms, shellfish and dead fish all making up their diet. It was previously ignored as a commercial fish. However, species such as cod and haddock has seen pouting acquire a growing value as a commercial fish, and they are now available both as whole fish from fishmongers and supermarkets and are also used in fish products such as fish fingers and ready meals.
