FSA Wild Whole Black Cod H/Off

Our Black Cod is wild-caught and a product of British Columbia. Also known as Sablefish, it’s an excellent choice for any meal and is Ocean Wise recommended.

Black Cod fish has a rich oil content that makes it exceptionally flavourful with a soft, velvety texture. Its melt-in-your-mouth, oil-rich meat is the cause for its nickname “butterfish.” The meat has large, white flakes and is excellent grilled or smoked. Because of its high oil content, however, Black Cod fish has a short shelf life and must be handled carefully. The health benefits of this flavourful fish are that it is high in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, with amounts comparable to those in wild salmon.

Black Cod fish is a group of fishes found only in the North Pacific Ocean. They are dark-skinned fish with pearly-white flesh and long bodies. Black Cod fish grow quickly, with males reaching 3 feet in length and females reaching 2 feet. At this state, they are sexually mature and begin reproduction. Sablefish spawn in deeper water along the continental slope from March through April in Alaska, and from January through March between California and British Columbia.

Price is listed per whole fish. Each fish typically weighs between 5.3 and 5.7 pounds.
