Description:
Black cod (sablefish) is a deep-sea fish with a long, slender body and smooth, velvety skin that ranges from dark charcoal to deep brown or black. Its flesh is notably rich and ivory-white, with a silky, almost buttery texture thanks to its high natural fat content.
Habitat:
They thrive in the cold, deep waters of the North Pacific. They’re typically found along the continental slope and abyssal plains, living at impressive depths—often between 600 and 3,000 feet. They inhabit areas from Alaska down to California and across to Japan, where the frigid, nutrient-rich environment supports their slow-growing, long-lived nature.
