Black cod !!

[JDHasty]

Kippered or smoked is the way to go w/black cod

Used to catch them often enough long lining. I usually slowly simmered them in a big pot with teriyaki sauce then served over rice. It was good. Used to be a guy could catch 7k lbs a week (or two weeks, hard to recall) without a permit. Not sure if that holds true anymore

Look up Nobu Miso black cod recipe and see what you find. Marinated for 3 days in Sake, miso, sugar mixture, then baked and finished in the broiler. Very nice!

It's crazy, as long as I have been fishn sekiu and neah bay and have never caught one, I talked to a couple long liners that go out for halibut and do really well on black cod but it was always a lot deeper than I cared to fish, I was only fishing 800 ft because my buddy has some really nice BIG electric reels !! Is there a specific type bottom you guys fish that are catching them in shallow water ?

You got me thinking because I should know these. The open access DTL fishery is limited to 300 lbs/day, 1,000 per week and not to exceed 2,000 per two months. This is from the federal regulations 50 cfr 660.

The times I caught black cod was from 500 to 900 ft

Electric reel of course

They are one of my favorite fish to eat

Best smoked fish ever. Even better than salmon or whitefish

I use this recipe when not want to smoke

Very good delicate flavor

Did a Canadian halibut trip out of Neah Bay one year and could not keep these things off our lines. Kept quite few but everywhere we stopped it was Black Cod took till the end of the day when the tide changed to get Halibut. They are tasty and really good smoked as has been mentioned.

I long lined up in Alaska for black cod and halibut. One trip we brought in 46,000 pounds of cut blackcod. That's deheaded and no guts. My hands were swollen for sure. That was fishing West Yakutat a very good area. Love smoked black cod it's my favorite.

Smoked and just warmed up! Also have had it as sushi, smoked with a sauce. Don't know what it is was but I was willing to pay a lot for just a couple of pieces. One of my favorite seafoods!

That's great you were able to get some of the WA coast! I would fish for them in a heart beat if I could!

My cousin is a commercial halibut and black cod fisherman in Alaska. He would bring both to hunting camp and spoil us.  There is no better eating fish!

If anyone makes it up to Sitka this summer there is a food truck in town called Ashmos. She has black cod tips on the menu and they are amazing. I usually spend 5 days in Sitka in August and will have them at least twice.

that is definetly the plan jmscon, only issue here is, is the fathom restriction that they only lift on halibut days, if I knew how to catch them in shallow water I would certainly do it, I have been fishn the salt most of my 45 years and have always fished halibut and have never caught one until a couple weeks ago !! I would like to go this Saturday and go out to grays shelf and start at about 1000 ft but the weather doesn't look that great and a couple weeks ago it was a gnarled boat ride out !! I think next year I am gonna go get a Canadian license so when we fish out of neah bay we can bomb over and fish Canada everyday for them !! I refuse to buy fish, I just flat won't do it but I would be seriously tempted to buy some black cod, damn fine eatn, damn fine !!

My buddy brought over 5lbs of black cod "tips", from Alaska. We marinaded them in yoshidas and threw em on the Traeger. That is one of the absolute best things I have ever put in my mouth. 3 of us destroyed all of it and wanted more.

I usually think of anything but halibut as a garbage fish, but I think I need to try some black cod.
