About This Premium Product
Wild Alaskan sablefish, known as black cod, is the premium jewel of wild seafood — often called "the wagyu of the sea" for its buttery, rich flesh and luxurious marbling. Unlike farm-raised sablefish, wild specimens develop their signature silky texture from natural feeding and deep-water conditions. Each 6oz portion delivers an extraordinary 1,500mg of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA+DHA), rivaling sockeye salmon while providing a completely different culinary experience. The high fat content stays moist during cooking, making sablefish nearly impossible to overcook — a forgiving choice for chefs of any skill level.
Sourced from Alaska's pristine deep waters and hand-caught using sustainable methods that protect these valuable populations, our sablefish is flash-frozen at peak freshness to preserve the buttery meat and delicate flavor. The distinctive orange-pink flesh darkens slightly during cooking while maintaining incredible juiciness. Sablefish is treasured by high-end chefs for miso-glazed applications, steaming, and poaching — dishes where the fish's natural oils shine without heavy sauces. For those seeking maximum omega-3 nutrition with restaurant-quality results, this is the ultimate choice.
Why Choose Wild Sablefish? It's the highest omega-3 white fish available, with a butter-soft texture that chefs adore. Discover how we sustainably source premium Alaska sablefish.

How to Prepare Premium Sablefish
Sablefish's natural oils make it forgiving to cook — nearly impossible to overcook. The high fat content keeps meat moist and succulent. Check our complete wild seafood cooking guide for detailed techniques, or try one of our signature sablefish recipes. Most chefs recommend simple preparations that let the buttery flesh shine.
Thawing
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator (8-10 hours). For quick thawing, seal in a bag and submerge in cold water for 1-2 hours.
Best Cooking Methods
- Miso-Glazed: The signature preparation — brush with miso-butter glaze and broil or pan-sear until golden.
- Steamed: Place on aromatics (ginger, scallions, shiitake), steam for 10-12 minutes for delicate, silky results.
- Pan-Seared: High heat creates crispy skin while meat stays buttery inside, 4-5 minutes per side.
- Poached: Gentle simmering in dashi or light broth for 8-10 minutes yields restaurant-quality dishes.
Chef's Tip
Sablefish is nearly impossible to overcook thanks to its high fat content. The buttery oils protect the meat from drying out. Use salt and minimal sauce — let the natural flavors speak for themselves. Japanese chefs prize sablefish for this very reason.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is sablefish called "the wagyu of the sea"?
Sablefish features natural marbling of fat throughout the meat, creating a buttery, luxurious texture similar to wagyu beef. This fat makes the fish impossible to dry out and delivers incredible flavor and nutrition. It's the most omega-3-rich white fish available.
Q: Is sablefish the same as black cod?
Yes. Sablefish and black cod are the same species (Anoplopoma fimbria). "Black cod" refers to the species name; "sablefish" is the market name. All our sablefish is wild-caught from Alaska, never farm-raised.
Q: How does sablefish omega-3 compare to salmon?
Wild sablefish delivers 1,500mg omega-3 per 6oz serving — nearly identical to wild sockeye salmon. Both are nutritional powerhouses. See our complete nutrition comparison.
Q: Can I cook sablefish at high temperature?
Yes. Unlike lean fish, sablefish can withstand high heat thanks to its fat content. Pan-searing at medium-high creates crispy skin while keeping meat buttery inside. The natural oils protect it from drying out.
Q: Is wild sablefish sustainable?
Yes. Alaska's sablefish fishery is strictly managed with quotas and closures. Hand-caught using sustainable methods, sablefish populations remain healthy and stable. Learn about our sustainable practices.
Q: How is wild sablefish different from farm-raised?
Wild sablefish develops its signature buttery texture from natural feeding and deep-water conditions. Farm-raised alternatives lack this complexity. Wild is the only choice for true quality.
Q: Can I mix sablefish with other wild seafood?
Absolutely. Sablefish pairs beautifully with leaner fish like cod or halibut in mixed dinners. Build a diverse collection with our Custom Seafood Box.
