Alaska's Most Expensive Fish

Nang nggonku jenenge iwak kuthuk gaes..

mmmmm... nice 😊

Nice to see someone who knows how to fillet & more Importantly make use of all usable parts. My personal favorite with BC are the "tips" or the collar meat, smoked or BBQ'd. Not unusual here In S.E Alaska to see a group of folks around a tote full of BC heads peeling out the tips for homepack. I haven't looked at all your video's as of yet Reed, but besides halibut cheeks being highly sought, Ling cod cheeks are wonderful also, and can be quit large depending on the size of the fish, of coarse. I appreciate your efforts greatly Reed and will seek out more of your videos. I make my living commercial fishing for salmon In S.E. Alaska and have much respect for the resource available to us. The two biggest Issues I have against the use of our resource Is: 1) How poorly the fish are cared for when caught and 2) How reckless and wasteful they are processed and utilized.
Thanks again Reed
I'll be watching more of your videos as time allows.

If you think you can clean fish, Do a Lake Erie Perch

Can you make a good fish sauce to use later with the skeleton of this fish.

skillful techniques ... I'm glad I've discovered your channel - intriguing; have watched several of your videos already and even multiple times ...

This is my favorite fish to eat. Man the first time I had Alaskan Black cod, I was just blown away how buttery delicious it is.

Can you do a redfish?

This isn’t a true cod though. It’s called a sablefish or black cod but isn’t really a cod. It is extremely expensive on the west coast though. It’s extremely good and I think it’s the best fish to smoke.

its the best eating fish in Alaska too! id take this over halibut all day.. but i dont catch these sport fishing up here they are too deep.

Legit, my favorite fish

"One more gentle incision..." SLASH!!!

How come you don't use the tongue and jaws of the cod? Here in Newfoundland fried tongue and cheeks and lower jaws are the best cuts! As is the sound bone with the swim bladder attached! Waste not!

It makes my mouth water to watch your show wth no sound.

Super please which knife you have used for filet

I can get black cod for 4$ a lb. By no means itsnt the most expensive.

I'd love to see your technique on a snakehead!

The Alaskan Black Cod (sable fish) population was almost decimated due to a popular expensive restaurant recipe of Black Cod in miso broth.

日本にも入って来ていますが、全身は初めて見ました。あと、こんなに鮮度の良い状態はあまり見ません。醤油ベースの甘めの味付けの煮付で食べたことがあります。とにかく脂の多い魚ですが、ご飯のおかずに良いですよ

THIS fish needs only (Salt-Pepper) and finally 20 to 25 minutes in the Microwave. That’s it! 🙏🏽🫶🏽😵‍💫🤗❤️

I think you messed up the first side and had your knife angled wrongly over the ribs. You left a load of meat on the ribs so the first filet was smaller than the second one which was done better.

It’s a privilege watching a master at work. We just discovered this fish, just succulent.

this is gross! as a vegan, why are you desecrating your meal on video? Show the fish some respect.

Sales girls love those wing. I got no time to do as finicky as you, i just fillet them like salmon, some customer also want them with ribs on as they cook them

Here we call it blue cod (not the same as blue eye cod) as they have a blue hue

Black cod tastes like very good talapia, just fattier. No flavor. It's just a popular flex. Screw Nobu.

I found some black cod at Grocery Outlet what a score. So tasty that fat was just oozing out of it. Very high Omega 3's

Mmmm mmm Black cod, and Burbot. 2 of the best fish from Alaska !!! Very nice job🎉

Love your uploads, but shhhhh no need to tell the rest of the world about one of the best kept secrets. Otherwise great job, and exceptional knife skills.

Looks like a pretty slow growing fish

My boi filleted that cod throat. No more morsel left behind. 😂

It's so good smoked.

Ling Cod are better than black cod by far.

the cod in general so much u can do with this fish

It’s fairly cheap in bc relative to salmon or halibut.

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy watching these videos even though the only 'fileting' I do is when I cut a piece of a fish stick with my fork. I’m wondering if there’s a piece of seafood out there he doesn’t think is “absolutely delicious”.
Like I said, I enjoy his videos. He makes it look so easy and we all know, it isn’t. He’s just very good at what he does…

love it! its an art. best in the industry !

Isn’t sockeye more expensive?

In the mid to late 1980s I use to catch those- many of them- in the puget sound at the south end of vashon island at about 150 feet down- bottom around 180. We would also catch Hake but we would throw them bach as they were basically gut bags with thin soft meat- black cods have thicker denser meat by far- they are really fatty so it may be a aquired taste for some

Mad knife skills bro! I`ll gladly pay you for that collar!

I usually buy fish as fillets to cook but black cod is one that I have fillet from a whole fish… once. It was sold live in large tanks at an Asian fish market. I did such a terrible job and my fillets were puny because of it. Thank goodness, none of the fish was wasted because my mom loves Hong Kong-style steamed fish and cook all my poorly cut pieces along wjth all the bones to the steamer. 😂 Now I want to try filleting another after watching this video.

Alaska cod is a treat.

A work of art. Excellent performance, Reed.

THIS FISH requires extremely crazy knife skills with insanely sharp knife!!.
Plus requires a degree in fish anatomy!! This guy is really good at what he does!!

My favorite,I have a Fish and Chip shop that gets it ounce in awhile.

While in Ketchikan, Alaska, though the stream was choked with salmon.
Me and two other guys and I went out with a Berinoff outfitter guide.
I mentioned the salmon. He gruffed, "Salmon are trash fish, we have something better out there."
We anchored in 300' of water and subsequently murdered the fish. We caught and keep about 25-30 Sable-fish, aka Black Cod, aka Butterfish.
He said you guys hit the jackpot!

Not the comment section I had thought would happen....still great video bro

Why not cook whole fish , you will eat all protein of the fish ,no waste anything （Asian 😊)

What is the name of the filet knife you are using?

He was a good fish. But now he’s dead

That fish had 3 cheeks😮
