If you follow me on instagram, you’ll see a lot of pictures of fish. Yes, we love our sablefish (SIZZLEFISH)!
One of our favorite types of fish to eat is Sablefish. The funny thing is, not many people have heard of sablefish and often ask me about this delicious fish. So I’d thought I’d write a post about it, because I know you’re just dying to know, right? That’s sarcasm. But jokes aside, let’s face it, you are curious! As you should be. 
Sablefish (also known as Alaskan Black Cod) has been around for years!Fishermen have been harvesting this fish since the late 1800s. It’s known as the “chocolate” of fish due to it’s delicious buttery texture and flavor! Now you’re thinking about chocolate and butter, aren’t you? Haha.
But this fish is actually more nutrient dense than chocolate. Let’s take a look at the nutrition facts here.
What makes sablefish so healthy?
- Low in mercury
- High in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which have tremendous heart and brain health benefits.
- Cold water fish – higher in good fats, which can lower blood pressure and improve overall blood cholesterol levels.
- Rich in nutrients like Vitamin B12
Are you ready to cook with this buttery dish?
