Harvested from the cold, deep waters near Dutch Harbor, Alaska, Black Gold Smoked Black Cod is pure luxury from the Last Frontier.
Also known as sablefish or butterfish, black cod is prized for its silky texture, delicate flavor, and naturally rich oil content. Once smoked, it becomes deeply savory, buttery, and almost melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Every portion is hand-prepared by Ketchikan Sam’s, a small coastal operation rooted in respect for Alaska’s waters, fishing traditions, storytelling, and exceptionally good seafood.
From tide to table, this is a wild-caught Alaskan delicacy that honors the rugged place it came from.

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!
