Blackbelly Rosefish Fishing Charters

Helicolenus dactylopterus

The Blackbelly Rosefish is a deep-water species found in the western Atlantic at depths of 500 to 2,000 feet. Recognizable by its reddish-orange body and distinctive dark belly, it is commonly caught on deep-drop fishing trips targeting the continental shelf edge. Though small compared to other deep-water targets, Blackbelly Rosefish are excellent table fare with firm, white meat.
