Appetit rates sablefish (blackcod)
one of the year’s top ten hot food picks!
 For
more than two decades, BC fishermen have harvested sablefish
in the deep clear waters of the Pacific Ocean far off
the coast of British Columbia. From its initial days
as a derby fishery, the sablefish fishery has evolved into
a sustainable model of fishery management that is emulated worldwide.
 Our
commitment to a reduced harvest fishery ensures
a healthy fish stock and a long-term future in the fishery.
Independent catch monitoring, strict by-catch limits
and a dedication to peer-reviewed science are only a few examples
of how the precautionary approach to fisheries management
is enshrined in every aspect of the BC sablefish fishery.
 Our
promise to the resource also ensures that discriminating diners
will enjoy the delicate taste of BC sablefish at home
or in the world's finest restaurants from Tokyo to
Geneva for centuries into the future.
Farmed
and Dangerous
The latest
addition to our website is the section on sablefish aquaculture
entitled "Farmed and Dangerous:
BC Sablefish Aquaculture."  Learn
why BC fish farmers are desperate to change their salmon
feedlots into sablefish feedlots. Find out why
Canada's senior governments are willing to jeopardize BC's
wild sablefish stocks by issuing operating permits to
more than 40 sablefish feedlots despite the lack of environmental
risk assessment and the widely-known hazards of fish farming.
You'll see why "Farmed and Dangerous" is an apt
description.
