Black Cod is the finest fish on the planet IMO.

*sablefish

It’s not a cod, just as Patagonian toothfish (Chilean sea bass) isn’t a bass.

Don’t let the fish people just make up names to sell us stuff at higher prices.

But all names are made up? Pork and beef are just easier to digest (pun intended) names for pig and cow.

A cod is genus of fish. It is a specific thing. Sablefish is not part of that genus.

Have you tried it?

Yes, I have had sable fish many, many times. I would not consider it the finest fish. Just my opinion.

...have you? and how many other fish have you tried?

it's a generic white fish upmarketed with a nonsensical name. I can name ten cheaper, better whitefish. Including actual cod.

You didn’t answer my question. And to answer your question, Yes. I actually worked on a black cod long liner in Alaska. I have traveled all over the world and eaten lots of fish. This is one of my favorite.

The fact that your taste doesn’t match mine isn’t a fighting point. Piss off, troll.

I've never tried another fish that worked as well broiled with miso.

I don't really have an opinion about what sablefish/black cod/whatever should be called. I just know it works really well in this dish.
