In English it is also called sable (USA), butterfish (USA), black cod (UK, Canada), blue cod (UK), bluefish (UK), candlefish (UK), coal cod (UK), and coalfish (Canada), although some of these names may also include seperate species of fish.
The sable fish is found in muddy sea beds in the North Pacific at depths of 300 to 2,700 meters, and is commercially important to Japan. It also is considered a delicacy in many countries for its sweet taste and flaky texture.
Nutrition
Sablefish is very high in healthy long-chain omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. It contains approximately as much as wild salmon. Wild Alaskan sablefish are also very low in PCBs, dioxins, and mercury.
The sablefish was a featured ingredient on Food Network's Iron Chef, in "Morimoto vs Linton Hopkins".
The fictional “Larry David Sandwich” from HBO’s Curb your enthusiasm contained sable, along with whitefish, capers, onions, and cream cheese, and retailed for $8.95 (USD).
