Possibly from the recipe, a local rename of lingcod? Don't worry, I've seen
stranger renames. I still have trouble recalling the standard english ones
for many fish due to years in Hawaii and Japan. I'm 50 and 10 of my last 30
have been outside the continental USA.

Also some places call chopped smaller pieces of fish 'loins'. Catfish
'loins' is the more common one to see. I suspect lingcod only because it's
a bit firmer and will stand up to this dish well.
