It's scientific name is Anoplopoma fimbria and it is one of two members of the Anoplopomatidae family, a group of fish confined to the North Pacific. Looking at the nutritional values of black cod, they can be considered as a very health beneficial fish. Sablefish are very high in heart-healthy Omega-3 oils, containing approximately as much as wild salmon do. They are also a great source of high-quality protein, iodine, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, and calcium. The fats in sablefish are highly polyunsaturated and thus well-suited to low cholesterol diets. They are very low in PCBs, dioxins, and mercury. Another important factor about Black Cod is their sustainability status. This particular species information has become very important to consumers over the past several years. The good news is that Alaska holds the largest population of black cod in the world and their conservation status is at the lowest level of concern in terms of fish sustainability management. The Black Cod population is neither overfished nor approaching an overfished condition.
