One customer called our wild Alaskan Sablefish “the chocolate of fish,” for good reason!

Its ravishing richness stems from the ample body fat that Sablefish accumulate to survive their frigid, deep-water environments.

Alaskan Sablefish is highly prized overseas, and the vast majority of the harvest is exported, making it a relative rarity in domestic markets.

Sablefish is very high in omega-3s, with each 4 oz portion averaging a whopping 1.6 grams—more than most wild Salmon!

*Note: Despite great care, bones may occur infrequently. Chew all fish well before swallowing.
 
What People Say
"Hi Randy... I LOVE the sablefish, had never tried it before, must have more. Thank you for all you are doing… will be ordering soon."
Kathleen Perry, D.C.

Storage
Keep frozen at or below 0° F (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain its quality for at least six to 12 months. Shellfish and lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish).
NOTE: Seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.
 
Thawing instructions
Thaw under refrigeration at or below 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius). Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging.
 
For quick-thawing, place frozen package in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until contents are flexible. Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture package). Prior to cooking, do not allow fish to reach temperatures above 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius).
 
Serving Tips
Rinse fish quickly in cold, clean water. Cook in a medium-hot lightly oiled pan, under a broiler, or on the grill for 7-8 minutes -- or bake 12-15 minutes at 375° F -- until only only a small spot in the very center still appears translucent.
Remove fish from heat and let it “self-cook” another two to three minutes, until just cooked through to center before serving.

NOTE: It is perfectly safe and healthful to serve our fish raw or partly cooked, because flash-freezing has rendered it 100% sushi-safe.

Enliven your fish with healthful, flavorful seasonings such as Vital Choice Organic Salmon Marinade Mix or other herb-spice blends:
  • Lightly coat or mist your fish with Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Macadamia Nut Oil, and rub on the seasonings of your choice.
  • Or, add the seasonings of your choice to a little of Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Macadamia Nut Oil and marinate the fish in it the mix, refrigerated, for 30-60 minutes or overnight.

"What do you say about Perfection?"

Review: This was the free gift as part of an order received yesterday. I hadn't had Sablefish before so I thought I'd sample it before buying very much. What do you say about perfection? Tender,flaky,rich buttery taste,moist? Somehow words escape me as this was the first time I've eaten it. I wasn't expecting anything so I was definitely pleased with the outcome! If you follow the instructions on how to thaw and prepare you will not be disappointed! My next order will include this product. Thank you Vit... More details


"Couldn't be happier with our Christmas gift"

Review: My brother sent us the Sablefish for Christmas and we simply sauteed it in a little butter with a squirt of lemon juice and it was absolutely the best fish we have ever eaten. What a delicious, buttery flavor. For those who don't care for a strong fish taste this is the one to order We couldn't be happier with our gift.

Review: This was a wonderful experience. It is such a easy fish to cook. Just a tad of pepper and salt and let the flavor speak for itself. It tasted just like butter. Wonderful.

Review: I have never had such a delicious fish! I was not familiar with Sablefish so this was a surprise. The little frozen sections looked so small I worried it wasn't going to fill me up but after trying I realized why they were on the small side - you can only eat so much because they are so rich. OMG I love this fish - maybe I should keep this secret to myself (more for me!).

Review: The most delicious fish on this planet. No other sablefish on the market compares. Most definitely worth the price! This fish is also super quick and easy to make right from frozen so if you forget to dethaw it, not to worry!
