Smoked black cod
« on: August 15, 2023, 05:29:09 PM »
Wow, I kept hearing about how great black cod was.  I tried a piece of it from Barnacle Bills in Lincoln city.  I got some and smoked it up. W o W!

Yep, best smoked fish I’ve ever done was black cod. Fanatic stuff for sure

Good eats, I got a few packages from Skillet. It smokes very well; I use apple pellets in my smoker for them.

I've eaten just about every fish on four continents plus Iceland and haven't had anything better than Skillet's black cod.  It's the only time I've ever had it, should be buying more.

I have learned that it can be hard on the intestinal fortitude, so eat gently, not like I usually do. Man that’s good stuff.

Salt perhaps does that?

Probably the fat.  You could light them on fire I bet.

I’m sure it’s the fat content. Rich!  Never imagined it being so rich.

I just looked it up, sablefish is about 20% fat, chinook is 13%, so sablefish is almost 50% more fatty than your average chinook which is a dang fatty fish.

The texture is also amazing and the flavor extremely delicate.

D a n g!  I believe it!  I wonder if that stuffs good for you with the omegas etc. or if it’s artery clogging.   I go with good for you. 

I cut brine time by 50% from my salmon or steelhead.

Right when it comes off the smoker and is still hot, the stuff is decadent!
