Black Cod (Sablefish)


Black Cod (Sablefish)
Alaskan Sablefish (Black Cod) — one of the most prized fish in the world, renowned for its extraordinary butteriness.
Sablefish from Alaskan waters is among the richest, most luxurious fish available anywhere — comparable to Chilean sea bass in fat content, and similarly forgiving to cook. It’s the fish that Nobu made famous with his signature miso black cod preparation, and it has remained one of the most sought-after restaurant fish in the world ever since. Wild-caught, deeply sustainable, and exceptional.
Extraordinarily silky and buttery with a deep, rich flavor and large, yielding flakes. The fat content is among the highest of any wild-caught fish — nearly impossible to overcook.
Serving & PortionsThe definitive preparation: marinate for 48–72 hours in white miso, mirin, sake, and a touch of sugar. Wipe off the excess marinade (leave a thin coating) and broil 4 inches from the heat for 10–12 minutes until deeply caramelized. The result is the most acclaimed restaurant fish dish of the last 30 years.
