About
Sablefish have a rich oil content which makes it exceptionally flavorful and a prized commercial fish. In fact, sablefish are among the highest priced per pound in Alaska and Pacific coast commercial fisheries.
Sablefish are often referred to as a black cod but are not actually part of the cod family. They resemble cod but are part of the Anoplopomatidae family, a group only found in the North Pacific Ocean.
You can read more about Sablefish at the NOAA FishWatch Site.
