Sablefish is sometimes called "butterfish," and for a good reason––it's ultra rich, buttery flesh is richer than virtually any other species. My sablefish has a distinct flake, a lovely ivory color, and a flavor like no other. While extremely rich and flavorful, my sablefish does not have a strong fish taste. There is simply nothing like it.

Who, Where, when, & How: After commercial fishing Alaska's waters for 25 years, I am starting to focus more on turning out stunning fillets for your dinner table and less on sloshing around in my boat fishing. Although I am sometimes fishing, more often I am jumping on a friend's skiff to get their best fish before. The art and craft of turning out beautiful fillets is more and more where my heart is these days. I call it salmon craft. When it comes to the white fish I sell, both species, halibut and sablefish, are sourced from friends in Kodiak and Southeast, Alaska. Although I commercially fished halibut for years in my youth, it's something I now leave to my tougher friends. My smoked salmon comes from a dear friend in Southeast, Alaska who has smoked for me for years. This smoked salmon isn't available anywhere else and is out of this world. A thing or two about sablefish: Salmon are known to eat baby sablefish. Salmon have great taste! Sablefish fisheries are managed by both state and federal agencies.
