Refined, rare, and exceptionally complex, 11-Day Dry-Aged Black Cod represents the pinnacle of modern fish craftsmanship. Also known as Sablefish, black cod is naturally rich in healthy fats, making it uniquely suited for dry-aging - a technique mastered by only a handful of specialists worldwide.
Our store is one of only five locations in the United States authorized and equipped to dry-age fish, applying the same precision standards used in elite dry-aged beef programs. Through tightly controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow, the fish is aged for 11 days to enhance umami, concentrate flavor, and refine texture without compromising freshness or safety.
The result is a black cod with deeper savoriness, cleaner fat, and a luxurious, silky mouthfeel that melts on the palate. Available whole or as a perfectly trimmed fillet, this is a product designed for chefs, connoisseurs, and serious seafood enthusiasts.
