Alaskan Rockfish
Sebastes melanops/ciliatus

Your rockfish comes from the clear waters of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet in South Central Alaska. We currently source your Alaskan Rockfish from another boat and ensure that it is a local, high quality product that we stand behind! It is caught hook and line and promptly iced, filleted, skinned, portioned and vacuum packed. The semi translucent flesh cooks to white and has a delicate, snapper like flavor.

Your rockfish is commonly called Black or Dusky Rockfish, and is common to the North Pacific. Black and Dusky Rockfish populations are stable in Alaska and their higher reproductive rate makes them resistant to overfishing, unlike their cousins Yelloweye Rockfish, commonly known as Red Snapper, which are longer lived, overfished and a protected fish further south. The small jig fishery your rockfish is sourced from rarely reaches the state set harvest cap, ensuring a sustainable product.
