An Alaskan fisherman documented a vibrant, orange-speckled catch that has natural blue flesh, and he shared what the fish looks like when cooked.<\/p>\n

Joe Chmeleck, owner of The Lodge at Otter Cove, in Homer, Alaska, reeled in a rock greenling late last month, according to posts he shared on Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n

“Went out fishing today and caught a rock greenling,” Chmeleck wrote on Aug. 28. “The flesh is blue. It turns white<\/a> when you cook it. Mother nature is incredible.”<\/p>\n

In a follow-up video that Chmeleck posted to Facebook, he showed the fully-skinned blue fish fillets changed color when pan-fried in oil.<\/a><\/p>\n

Many commenters under his social media posts wrote that they didn\u2019t know a fish species like this existed.<\/p>\n

“What a incredible beautiful looking fish,” one Facebook user wrote.<\/p>\n

“That’s pretty crazy. I’ve never seen anything like that,” an Instagram user wrote.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s amazing!! Had no idea such a fish existed,” another Facebook user wrote.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Chmeleck said the rock greenling he caught tasted similar to trout.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has been unable to offer consumption advice<\/a> on rock greenlings because the agency hasn\u2019t been successful in gathering a sufficient sample size to determine mercury levels for the species.<\/p>\n

Rock greenlings, also known as Hexagrammos lagocephalus, are a ray-finned marine fish that are typically found along the northern Pacific Coast,<\/a> from the Point Conception State Marine Reserve in California to the Bering Sea in Alaska, according to various government wildlife records.<\/p>\n

The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife both state rock greenlings possess dark scales that have a “mottled” pattern, which can range from brown, red, orange and green, so the fish species can blend in with rocky environments.<\/a><\/p>\n

While the fish seems to have evolved for camouflaging,<\/a> rock greenlings have blue or blue-green mouths and flesh, according to both wildlife agencies.<\/p>\n

Scientists aren\u2019t certain why rock greenlings have blue-green pigments in their tissue, but they know the coloring happens because the fish biologically<\/a> produce biliverdin, a green bile, according to the Oregon Sea Grant, a marine research foundation.<\/p>\n

Rock greenlings feed on sea worms, crustaceans, and small fishes, according to the California Department of Fish & Wildlife.<\/p>\n

Typically, the fish species<\/a> can grow up to 24 inches in length and weigh up to 1.83 pounds, according to the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife.<\/p>\n
