Fresh, oily flavor with medium texture and small flake. High fat content. Raw flesh is white and cooks up white.

They also eat krill and have a taste that is most similar to
Shrimp.

Taste like shrimp so expect a new source for those fake shrimp substitutes.

“Researchers detect around 60 million nests of Antarctic icefish over a 240 square kilometers area in the Weddell Sea.”

“with later precise evaluation showing that there were on average one breeding site per three square meters”

Hopefully they understand fish better than math.

Jonah's icefish is of no interest to commercial fisheries. Probably more hake-like in flavor.

Hake is used to make fake fish products with (surimi) fake crab, fake lobster etc. Hake commercial price by the ton is very low, usually caught as secondary target.

The icefish’s eyes remind me of Nancy Pelosi.
