Interesting and not surprising. In Boston you can buy shrod or scrod -
there is no such fish. If it is spelled with an h it is haddock, and
with a c cod (supposedly).

While in Tierra del Fuego last January, I had Chilean sea bass (one
that I caught), and it is by far the best tasting fish I have ever had,
fresh or salt water. The ones we were catching on streamers where the
river enters the ocean were from about 3 to 10 pounds. They looked
alot like a common sucker with enormous fins. They were a blast to
catch on a 7 weight when then entered the estuary at high tide to feed.
Note, however, these fish are not the same as the Patagonian
Toothfish, aka Chilean Sea Bass, which can grow to lengths of 5 feet or
more and are taken from deep water.
