Tips for Preparing Black Cod Steaks
Sablefish has a high fat content, making it an ideal fish for smoking. The meat’s natural oils ensure it won’t lose any flavor or texture in the process. If you’re in the mood for something a bit simpler, pan-roasted black cod is an easy, delicious option.
Some who have our fresh black cod delivered might have an eye toward tradition. Historically, black cod has been cooked with miso and sake. If you’re interested in trying this preparation, here’s a traditional Black Cod with Miso recipe from Food & Wine. This is a signature plate at sushi restaurants around the world; the sweet-savory fish dish has been cloned by chefs from California to Australia. The recipe’s author, Nobu Matsuhisa, marinates the black cod in a good deal of the sake-miso marinade for two to three days. This fish is also spectacular if you marinate it only overnight in just enough sake and miso to coat.
Handling Instructions – Black Cod
Our fresh black cod is delivered frozen. The steaks are bone-in and skin-on. If you thaw the fish, it will stay good in a refrigerator for up to 7 days. If you choose to keep the fish frozen, it will keep in a freezer for around two months. Keep in mind that sablefish’s high fat content means it will spoil faster than other types of fish.

Always amazing! Sable fish is out favorite. Each time I enjoy it, I do not understand why it is not served more in restaurants. I like the steak cut!

These were absolutely delicious! Some of the best tasting fish Ive ever had. The only thing was that you had to eat them very carefully because the bones were treacherous! Perhaps more careful filleting would be helpful.

Better than anything we can get locally. My favorite way to have these is with Nobu’s miso marinade. Reminds me of the best dishes I’ve had at great Japanese restaurants. Couldn’t be fresher.

These steaks were perfect – incredibly fresh, you could tell by the way they cooked, even the skin was tender. I used the Nobu recipe to marinate and bake.

The fish arrived promptly and were wonderful! Very buttery and beautiful flakes. The only problem was that a few of the packages’ seals broke, which prompted us to cook them right away so they would not to get freezer burn or any distaste. Could be prevented with a better eye, but you all are very busy for a good reason!
