Default Re: Trash to treasure

It's actually a Cape Hake, one of the many varities of Hake fishes shipped from around the world all the way from Namibia, along the South Africa coast. Sold in Spain for years. It lives in 200-400 meters along the shelf. It migrates daily from the bottom during the day to the surface at night, where they are caught in hugh numbers. It will only be a matter of time below they overfish this species also, now that they've found another market for them.
Most, if not all of the seafood sold in costco, is from around the world. Nothing there is "local". Which is one main reason why I personally would never buy it. Just my 2 cents.
