Black Cod Portion Sablefish

Black Cod is long-lined like halibut in the deep cold waters of the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska where the worlds largest populations exist. It is normally sold dressed with the head off and individually frozen. Thanks to its rich oil content, black cod is exceptionally flavorful and an excellent fish for smoking. The harvesting season is coincidental with halibut starting in early March and ending in mid November. Icicle Seafoods is one of the largest buyers and processors of this oily rich fish that is prized in Asian markets and upscale restaurants in the US.
