Product Description
Sablefish is also known as Black Cod. This deep sea fish is known for its high oil content and silky, buttery texture. When you take a bite, you’re greeted with a rich, velvety mouthfeel and a sweet flavor that’s so delightful, it’s earned the nickname “butterfish”. Its snow-white color and large, tender flakes makes it stand out in a variety of dishes, whether you’re going for a simple miso glaze or sautéing. Native to the chilly depths of the North Pacific, Sablefish develops its impressive fat content as a way to adapt to their harsh conditions. Interestingly, despite being called Black Cod, it’s not actually part of the cod family; it got that name because it looks similar. One of the best things about Sablefish is how forgiving it is when cooking, it's nearly impossible to overcook! Plus, its natural richness means you don’t need to do much to it to create a truly unforgettable dish.
How is the seafood kept fresh during shipping?
Every Direct Seafood order is packed in an insulated cooler with ample dry ice to maintain frozen conditions during transit. Each portion is individually vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and ensure ease of storage.
When your shipment arrives, the seafood should be fully frozen. Immediately transfer it to your freezer. Any remaining dry ice should be handled with care—either dispose of it using the instructions provided or allow it to dissipate by closing the cooler lid.
