Sablefish, also known as black cod or butterfish, are prized for their velvety texture and rich, buttery flavor—especially in Asian markets where they’re considered a delicacy. Caught along the Alaska and Washington coasts, Pacific Harvest works closely with Quinault Pride Seafoods to source line-caught sablefish of exceptional quality. This is a well-managed fishery and a sustainable choice for chefs seeking an alternative to Chilean sea bass. Whether grilled, smoked, or kasu-marinated, sablefish offers outstanding flavor and high levels of omega-3s.
