Our Very First October Fresh & Wild Event!

Sablefish, also popularly known as Black Cod or Butterfish, is one of the most renowned whitefish species on the planet. It is popular for its high oil content - creating a rich and buttery flavor, and silky smooth texture. Sablefish pairs well among many meals and recipes.

About The Co-op

Seafood Producers Cooperative (SPC) is owned by fishermen who fish the waters of Southeast Alaska. Each member is a small boat fisherman and owner of the cooperative, and therefore receives the benefits of ownership. The cooperative was founded on pride in ownership and is meant to serve fishermen by getting the fairest price for their catch and giving them access to processing and packaging that they wouldn’t be able to achieve working on their own. When you get fish from a fishermen’s co-op, you get the fish from a fisherman. With the co-op, you can depend on consistent product availability with the highest standards. What started in 1944 as a cooperative to provide halibut liver oil to vitamin companies has become a full-fledged organization that provides premium-quality wild salmon, halibut, sablefish (black cod), and more to high-end food service and retail industries around the world. The co-op’s main processing plant is in Sitka, Alaska.

SPC’s Mission: We represent small boats, independent fishermen, and co-op values. With great pride in our company, our communities, and every fish we touch, we are committed to producing the finest quality seafood.

We are thrilled to partner with SPC to bring this delicious, hook-and-line caught King Salmon to our customers.

What You Can Expect from SeaBear

Your Fresh Sablefish will be hand-filleted and will be shipped fresh, never frozen. It should arrive to you cool to the touch, on gel ice packs. We provide free sea salt & cracked pepper with every order of this phenomenal fresh Sablefish along with cooking instructions, storage guidelines, and tips to make this a memorable meal.

*Due to these fish being so fresh and tender, removing all bones is not possible, so fillets will likely contain bones.

Please note, any additional items ordered with a Fresh & Wild Event ships with the order.

No matter how you prefer to cook your Fresh & Wild fillet, taking your time is key. Slow cooking helps seal in those natural juices for a more flavorful dish. Look for the flesh to go from translucent to mostly opaque and flake easily with a fork to know it's done.

For baking, preheat your oven to 275°F. Lay your fillet on a cookie sheet brushed with olive oil, skin side down, and bake for around 15-18 minutes without flipping.

If you're grilling, brush your grill with olive oil before heating. Once it's medium-hot (hold your hand 6 inches above the grill for 5 seconds), brush the top of each fillet with olive oil and place them on the grill. Season with salt and pepper, grill until the edges start turning opaque, flip once, and continue until fully cooked.

Fresh fish is a wonderful addition to your meals, offering both flavor and nutrition. To preserve its quality and safety, follow these tips for storing fresh fish:

  1. Keep it cold: When your Fresh & Wild catch arrives, promptly refrigerate. For best results, place it on a bed of ice or use ice packs to maintain a cold temperature.
  2. Wrap it up: Use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to tightly wrap the fish. This prevents exposure to air and helps retain moisture, keeping the fish fresh.
  3. Plan your meal: Fresh fish is most enjoyable within 1 to 3 days after delivery. If you don't plan to use it within this timeframe, consider freezing it to preserve its freshness.

How is the freshness of the fish guaranteed during delivery? 

Your Fresh & Wild fillet will ship fresh, never frozen. It should arrive cool to the touch on gel ice packs. Our fresh events ship with expedited shipping and are packaged in insulated bags that keep them cool.

Can I freeze my fresh fish?

Your fresh fillets can be frozen & will keep in the freezer for approximately 30 days; once thawed it should be cooked and used within 1-2 days.  We recommend after rinsing the fillets and patting dry, to wrap in a plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag before freezing.

Do the Fresh & Wild filets contain bones? 

Your Fresh & Wild fish has been hand-filleted and may come with a few pin bones as these are hard to remove in fresh fish.

Where do you source your fresh fish? 

We work with different fishing companies and have many catch locations for our Fresh & Wild Events. Your order will come with an insert that will give you details of where the product came from. Some of our most favorite catch locations are Columbia River, Salish Sea, Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, and of course Copper River.
