Australiains will call anything anything just as we will in order to sell it Hoki = blue grenadire = a species of hake
Ling is called all sorts of shit.
Squid is called all sorts of shit also but most popularly Calamarie its all about marketing squid sounds yucky and unappealing but calamarie wow that sounds exotic lets buy that LOL.I may laugh but it works.

I was once woken up in the middle of the night(at sea) to set up filleting machines for barracuda by the FM I went back to sleep thinking he was having me on(we did that sort of shit trying to catch each other out shagging the new chick) and the skipper woke me on the intercom.
So i went and set them up to fillet them watched production for an hour to make sure all good then went and talked to the skip.
Who is going to eat this worm filled shit? I asked. The aussie fish and chip market love it was the reply.
I forget what they called it
For all you inshore fisherman who are going to say they are great eating(there are a few) these were not inshore fish.At the time of year they were caught in the depth they were caught(way plus 400m) there flesh was 50%or more parasites and im not kidding or exaggerating.
Be careful eating fush and chups in aussie

Jeeze thanks and I was going to get fish and chips for lunch next Monday in Brisbane, I think they market barracuda as snoek or something like that.
