Smoking black cod can be tricky, this is the best smoked black cod I’ve ever had.
-The flavor is there, the moistness, which is one of my favorite things about black cod… It’s just the perfect amount, it’s flaky, it’s so addictive. It’s ridiculous. This is first class all the way. The price point is excellent.
Black gold, makes me happy!

“Black Gold” Smoked Black Cod – Treasure from the deep

Brought to you from the frigid depths near Dutch Harbor, Alaska – where open ocean
meets windswept, rugged shorelines and centuries of fishing tradition - this black cod is pure luxury from the Last Frontier. Known by locals as black cod, sablefish or butterfish for its rich, buttery, decadent texture and delicate flavor, this fish is highly regarded among captains and cooks alike.

Every cut in this box is hand-prepared by Ketchikan Sam’s – A small, coastal operation rooted in deep respect for the sea, storytelling and damn good fish. From tide to table, this is a sustainable, wild-caught indulgence, that honors the wild place it came from.

Standard Box ($149.99) – 10 packages (approximately 5 pounds)
Large Box - (coming soon)

Known as “butterfish” for its silky, rich texture, smoked black cod is a delicacy unlike any other. Each 5 lb box includes 10 vacuum-sealed packs (~0.5 lb each), making it easy to enjoy one pack at a time or share with friends.

✔ 5 lb box (10 × 0.5 lb packs)
✔ Wild-caught sablefish from Alaska
✔ Buttery, melt-in-your-mouth flavor
