Copper Rockfish inhabit rocky reefs and kelp forests of the northeastern Pacific. Rusty orange to brown with light patches, they shelter near boulders and feed on shrimp, crabs, and small fish. Long-lived and site-faithful, they are a staple of Pacific sportfishing and valued for both their resilience and flavor.
