Alaska Black Cod For Dinner

Black cod is also called Sablefish or Butterfish. It has a delicate texture and a buttery, rich flavor. The world's top seafood restaurants serve it. It is a popular delicacy throughout the world, but is particularly popular in Japan.

Black Cod can be found from Alaska to northern Mexico, but it is more common in Alaska. Alaskan black cod is different from regular cod due to Alaska's frigid waters. Cold temperatures cause a higher fat content and Omega-3 fatty acid levels. Alaskan black cod, too, is sustainably sourced, and there are special provisions in place to prevent overfishing by ensuring that the Alaskan fish population remains at healthy levels.

You can easily bake black cod and it requires very little effort. This is how I cook black cod. This fish is so much more delicious than other varieties.
