Sablefish, Wild Alaskan (Fillet Portion)

• Flavor: Rich, buttery, and mildly sweet — prized for its deep flavor and melt-in-your-mouth quality
• Texture: Silky and tender with large, delicate flakes
• Fat Content: High in healthy omega-3s, giving it exceptional moisture and richness
• Best For: Pan-searing, roasting, grilling, broiling, smoking, and miso-glazed preparations

KEY TIP: Sablefish is naturally rich, which makes it very forgiving to cook. Focus on developing a golden crust, and avoid overcooking — remove from heat when it flakes easily. Simple seasoning allows its natural richness to shine.

If you’re looking for a fish that delivers restaurant-quality results at home, sablefish is a favorite of chefs for its flavor, texture, and versatility.

Fun Fact: Alaska sablefish is often called “butterfish” because of its rich flavor and velvety texture — a premium wild fish that stands apart from lean, lower-quality whitefish.

Our sablefish is harvested from the cold, open waters of the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska — working grounds known for producing some of the finest, richest wild seafood in the world.

But where it’s caught is only part of the story.

All of our sablefish is pot-caught by the F/V Kaia, operated by the Velsko family. From the moment each fish comes aboard, it’s handled with care. Every sablefish is bled and cleaned immediately, preserving its natural richness, texture, and pristine quality at sea.

The F/V Kaia is the only vessel in Alaska with an onboard ice machine, allowing the crew to pack fish directly into an ice slurry within minutes of harvest. That rapid chilling locks in freshness and protects the buttery, velvety texture sablefish is known for.

This level of care at sea matters.

Cold Alaska waters give sablefish its signature rich flavor and delicate, silky flake — but careful handling is what preserves it all the way to your table.

This isn’t anonymous bulk seafood.

It’s wild Alaska sablefish, harvested and iced by hand aboard the F/V Kaia, and delivered directly to your family.

All of our sablefish is pot-caught by the F/V Kaia (the Velsko Family), using one of the most selective and low-impact fishing methods available. Pot gear allows for reduced bycatch, minimal habitat disturbance, and careful handling of each fish brought aboard.

Every season is closely monitored. Strict quotas, onboard accountability, and full traceability ensure that what we harvest today does not compromise tomorrow.

For us, sustainability isn’t theoretical.

We depend on healthy fisheries — not just for business, but for the future of our family and crew. This isn’t a one-and-done industry. It’s generational work.

No imported fish.

No anonymous supply chains.

Just wild Alaska sablefish, harvested responsibly by the F/V Kaia and delivered directly to your table.
