I’ve had yellowtail flounder and Boston mackerel, and both were cooked just the way they should be, with a hint of pink along the spine.

Black sea bass, scup, yellowtail flounder, mackerel, herring and monkfish, to name just a few species, have all moved to accommodate changing temperatures.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday that three regional populations of Chinook salmon and one regional population each of Coho salmon, summer flounder, yellowtail flounder and winter flounder are suffering from overfishing.

The assessments apply to 20 different stocks of groundfish, including Atlantic cod, yellowtail flounder and pollock.

The move was welcomed by fishermen who fear 2013 will bring drastic quota cuts to groundfish like cod, haddock and yellowtail flounder.
