Alaskan Black Sable

Think of Dover Sole with a Snapper's texture. Think of Turbot with a crab like sweetness. John Dory is a versatile species that dominates the light, white, flakey genre. John Dory is an upright "Flatfish". Its fillet resembles the shape of Flounder, but without scales. It has a beautiful olive to gold skin that crisps wonderfully when seared. The flake of the John Dory is delicate and supple. The clean flavors are the perfect canvas for light sets and minimalistic ingredient approach.

Sow Hake have a close resemblance to Cod and Haddock with a larger flake and "Fluffier" texture. They inhabit extremely deep waters and rise to mid depth at night to feed. The Sow Hake are harvested during this time by Hook and Line "Jig" Day Boat Operators. Sow Hake are a delicate "softer" flesh than other New England Round Fish. They are, indeed, a highly sought species by "Local" minded New England Chefs. They contain high levels of fish "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to incredible moisture levels in the prepared flesh. The culinary application is vast. Think it and Hake will handle it. Poach, Saute, Broil, Grill, Salt-Cure, Smoke.

Ling Cod are the definition of succulence. They are a very deep water dweller. This extreme cold water makes it necessary for the fish to pack on "fat" to regulate body temperature. Halibut has the same trait as a species. The Ling Cod will offer one of the highest moisture contents in the Cod market. This is a seasonal fishery and is typically caught by Halibut Boats in Alaska. Give the Ling Cod a place on your "Feature Board" and your guests will rave. This is free marketing that we could all benefit. Poach, Broil, Saute, Fry.
