Hard to say with fish. There are marketing terms which completely ignore
biology and taxonomical relationships. Monkfish, a.k.a. Lotte,
Anglerfish, Goosefish, and, I think, sometimes, referred to as Poor
Man's Lobster, although I've never seen it marketed that way, is quite
different from torsk, which is definitely air-dried (rather than salted)
cod, ling, hake, pollack or other codlike fish. Basically stockfish.

Adamantius (who likes his reconstituted torsk sauteed in plenty of good
green olive oil with garlic and lots of fresh parsley)
