The red codling (Pseudophycis bachus; Māori: hoka)[1][2][3] is a morid cod of the genus Pseudophycis, restricted to New Zealand, from the surface to 700 m.[4] It reaches lengths up to 90cm. P. bachus is a food source for the diving yellow-eyed penguin, Megadyptes antipodes.
Environmental organisation Forest & Bird assessed the red cod "Worst Choice (Don't eat)" in its Best Fish Guide, which rates the ecological sustainability of seafoods.[5]
