Our Hot Smoked Black Cod is a delicacy crafted with precision and care in Seattle, WA. This luxurious seafood is custom-smoked multiple times per week to maintain peak freshness and flavor. Black cod, also known as sablefish, is renowned for its rich, buttery texture and delicate, smoky-sweet taste, making it a favorite among seafood enthusiasts.
The process begins with fresh black cod fillets, brined with a blend of salt and brown sugar, then air-dried in a special cooler before being slowly smoked over Alderwood at low temperatures for hours. This method enhances the fish's natural high oil content, resulting in a moist, tender, and flavorful delicacy.
Available in both 2 lb and 5 lb packs, our smoked black cod is perfect for gourmet meals or special occasions. Packed with omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids, it’s not only delicious but also a healthy choice for any seafood lover.
