Sablefish aka “Black Cod”

Since 2008, Golden Eagle Sablefish has graced some of the world’s most exquisite restaurants. The fish are grown off Vancouver Island in British Columbia and the farm is locally-owned. Committed to sustaining a healthy environment and community, the farm has a strong partnership with the Kyuquot First Nations. In the Nuu-Chah-Nulth language “Kyuquot” means “different people,” which is a symbol for their unique and different approach to sablefish aquaculture. This is a premium white fish known for its large petal-like flakes as much as its rich, buttery flavor. Versatile, this sashimi-grade, naturally-raised sablefish is sought after by world-class chefs, both multi-Michelin starred continental-style chefs and Japanese chefs, from Paris to New York to Tokyo.

From Sea to Plate

“As a Chef, I work extremely hard to know the who, the what and the where my food for my kitchens is grown. Gindara Sablefish is a spectacular fish and is delicious, but most importantly, having visited the farm in Kyuquot Sound, and having met the crew, I know it is also raised responsibly and sustainably by farmers who care deeply about the fish, the environment, and the future.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Sablefish is sometimes called Blackcod. Is it a codfish?

Historically, many fish were given common names that were easily recognizable but totally inaccurate. Sablefish is not a cod. The name Sablefish came from the velvety feel of its smooth fine black scales. They actually compared this to the luxurious fur of a sable. Huh? It is more accurately desribed by some as "Butterfish". The rich oil content of this fish is true luxury to your palette.
