FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does smoked sablefish last in the fridge?
Unopened vacuum-sealed packages can last 2-3 weeks. Once opened, it should be consumed within 5-7 days.
Can you freeze smoked sablefish?
Yes, it freezes well. Wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn and it will maintain quality for about 2 months.
What is the difference between sablefish and black cod?
They are the same fish. 'Black cod' is a common market name, though it is not actually a member of the cod family.
Is smoked sablefish high in mercury?
Sablefish generally has low to moderate mercury levels, making it safer than many other large predatory fish.
What is a good substitute for smoked sablefish?
Smoked sturgeon or smoked Chilean sea bass are the best substitutes due to their similar high fat content and buttery texture.
How do you pick the best quality smoked sablefish?
Look for flesh that appears moist and glistening. Avoid pieces with dry, brownish edges or a strong 'fishy' ammonia smell.
Does smoked sablefish need to be cooked?
No, the smoking process fully cooks and cures the fish. It is ready to eat straight from the package.
Why is smoked sablefish so expensive?
It is a deep-sea fish with a limited harvest and a very high oil content, making it a prized delicacy in many cuisines.
Is it healthy despite the high fat content?
Yes, most of the fat consists of polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health.
What are common ways to serve it?
It is traditionally served on bagels with cream cheese, flaked into salads, or served as part of a brunch platter.
