New product Farmed Black Cod


Here is some information provided to me from the distributor of fresh farmed raised Black Cod , sable fish. I generally try to buy wild product of this species because it is considered sustainable. I will be taking a better look at this particular farm to see if we can give them a good sustainability rating.

Fresh Farmed
BLACK COD

(Sablefish, anoploploma fimbria)

Black cod, or Sablefish as it is more commonly referred, gets its name from its black or dark green skin our. The flesh is a beautiful pearly white that results in large velvety flakes. Due to a high Omega-3 fat content, Black Cod has a smooth, rich, buttery taste combined with a smooth and luxurious texture.
Cooked black cod makes an excellent substitute for the endangered Chilean Sea bass. With its similar taste and texture, it can be prepared and served using a myriad of techniques.
Farmed black cod is prized for its raw use in the sashimi market as, unlike its wild caught counterpart, it is parasite free.
