Black cod (coal fish) is a real delicacy and the choice of true gourmets!

It lives in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean from the Bering Strait along the coast of Kamchatka and the Pacific side of the Kuril Islands to the island of Honshu. The only representative of the Anoplopomaceae species.

Black cod is a deep-sea cod and is found at a depth of 300 to 2700 m.

Black cod is very much appreciated in cooking for its tender buttery white meat, which is very fragrant and literally melts in the mouth. Black cod has a lot of fat and slightly less protein than most other fish. At the same time, the fat in it is distributed evenly. Coal fish is quite high in calories, but this is compensated by its useful properties. In Russia, it is little known, it can not be found in ordinary stores, but in the United States and Canada it has been popular since the end of the XIX century.

Fish of the highest price category, because it is scarce. Its deficit is due to a reduction in the number of species due to overfishing. The global catch of black cod is about 20 times less than that of Atlantic cod.

You can prepare black cod in any traditional way: fry, boil, bake, put out, use as a filling for fish dishes or a filler for fish salad.
