Proximate Analysis of Pseudophycis bachus
Mainly from V.P. Bykov (1983, Ref. 4883)

 Main ref.
 Country
 Australia
 Locality
 Northern Australia, February-July
 Remark
 After boiling and frying, the meat resembles the common cod's but is tastier. The heads and bones have no food value. This is a good table fish. The large fish should be used for preparing dressed fish or fillets and the smaller ones should be frozen without gutting.
