We are happy to share buttery, flaky, deep-water sablefish aboard the Captain Sean Cross, F/V Smeagol out of the San Francisco. #KNOWYOURFISHERMAN! Caught via bottom longline in deep water, this fishery is doing very well and we are happy to have them for you. Hello, sablefish (aka Blackcod)!

To be clear, sablefish fishing is no easy task. The guys have to go way off shore (2-4 days) and each line or trap is baited, and a single snag, wherein they lose their gear, costs them thousands of dollars. Also consider that if the weather changes, the swell picks up, or anything goes wrong with their boat, they are a full day from a safe harbor. I only point this out so that we don't take the fish or the fishermen for granted.

​Be sure to read the Blackcod info page to learn more than you ever wanted to know about this delicious fish. And check out the Fishwife's sablefish recipes. I think you'll have some fun with this fantastically fatty fish, which is so moist that it is nearly impossible to overcook.

​WINE PAIRING: Our friends at tableWINE in Pacifica recommend a French gamay like Aliane Beaujolais since it's like Pinot noir, but a little lighter. Because of the miso glaze and some caramelization the dish is hearty enough to take on a light bodied red.
