Sablefish (Winter Catch)

FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS 20-200 LBS. TO EASTERN US. 
Ships March 20 & 21, 2023.

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.

Cut:
I offer my sablefish in portions only. Portions are about 1 lb. each, but as small as 0.75 lbs. or as large as 1.25 lbs. each.

Bones:
Sablefish has a few non-dangerous pin bones which can be pulled before or after cooking. While the collar portion (the portion toward the head) does have a row of pin bones, the tail portion (triangular) typically has few or no pin bones. Most customers receive a mix of both types of portions.

Packaging:
I vacuum seal my sablefish in heavy 4 or 5mm bags. Your fresh-frozen seafood will keep in your freezer in pristine condition for at least 8 months.
