Tile fish not extinct in Gloucester catch
Gloucester skipper A Landry aboard the A C Newhall docked with 1,000 pounds of tile fish, a species Webster’s lists as extinct. Once abundant in New England waters, the deep water tile fish were targeted by U S efforts in the 1880s and again in later years, but have not been seen for decades. The Grampus search by the fish commission failed five years ago. The catch describes tile fish as thick-meated with little distinct flavor.
