VELVETY, BUTTERY FISH

The Sablefish, or Black Cod has a diet of primarily other sea animals, such as jellyfish, pollock, and squid. It has a very long and very impressive lifespan, reaching to around 90 to 94 years. It is sometimes referred to as “butterfish” for its rich flesh. And the name “Sablefish” is thought to have come from the feel of its very small scales—almost velvety, akin to a sable’s fur.
