Wikipedia Abstract

Trichodon trichodon, the Pacific sandfish is a species of sandfish that is native to the Pacific coast of North America, from San Francisco Bay to Unimak Island, in the Aleutian chain. Like its cousin the sailfin or Japanese sandfish (Arctoscopus japonicus) the Pacific sandfish is a small, deepwater fish distributed over sandy and muddy depths. It is not valued for sushi like its Japanese cousin, but is occasionally caught from piers by recreational anglers.
