Tableside Information:

Gindara Sablefish (Black Cod) are a true sashimi fish that can be served raw, without freezing. Unlike wild Sablefish, Gindara do not suffer from kudoa or other parasites.

Gindara Sablefish are simply our best fish, that must meet impeccable standards to be granted the Gindara brand. Gindara sablefish is selected from the total production to meet minimum standards for size, colour, and meat quality.

Any fish that are not "straight", have severe skin abrasions, abnormal structure, or colour, are not selected and go to another grade. Quality control is done weekly to ensure flavour, clean flesh, and flesh consistency.

Consistent in size and quality, Gindara Sablefish have a delicate but firm texture, with exquisite taste.
