Sablefish
Sablefish, also called black cod, is an oily marine fish with soft, rich flesh, sold fresh, frozen, smoked or salted for cooking.
About Sablefish
Sablefish, also known as black cod, is a marine food fish with pale flesh and a relatively high oil content. Its cooked flesh is soft, moist and rich, with a mild, buttery flavour; raw fillets are typically creamy white to pale pink. Despite the common name black cod, it is not a true cod.
It is sold fresh or frozen as fillets and steaks, and also smoked or salted. Sablefish is commonly baked, grilled, broiled or pan-cooked; cooking and preservation methods change its moisture, texture and flavour, so forms should be distinguished in recipes and food records.
