Sablefish is sometimes called "butterfish," and for a good reason––it's ultra rich, buttery flesh is richer than virtually any other species. My sablefish has a distinct flake, a lovely ivory color, and a flavor like no other. While extremely rich and flavorful, my sablefish does not have a strong fish taste. There is simply nothing like it.
