Product Description
Alaskan Black Cod, also known as Sablefish, is a prized delicacy from Alaska’s cold, deep waters, celebrated for its velvety, buttery texture and mildly sweet flavor.
With twice the omega-3s of salmon, it supports heart and brain health while offering a rich, melt-in-your-mouth experience. This luxurious fish is a favorite of chefs and seafood lovers, perfect for slow roasting, miso-glazing, or pan-searing.
Each piece of black cod is hand-cut to 5-8 oz filets, individually vacuum sealed, and immediately flash-frozen to maintain peak freshness. Your seafood arrives in a box perfectly sized to your order and with plenty of dry ice to keep your product frozen until you get home. And you'll always receive an email telling you when your fish is expected to arrive.
