CFS Cooking Workshops: Filleting and Portioning Sustainable Black Cod
WRITTEN BY ROBERTO CARDENAS (Assistant CFS Supervisor)
As of this week, CFS will be selling locally sourced and sustainably caught Black Cod (Sablefish) which will be available for purchase for all of the houses. First and foremost, shoutout to Dylan Earp, the Kitchen Manager at Hillegrass-Parker, for getting the ball rolling on having this item available for us to procure and sell. For extra context we are getting a very good deal on this fish, it usually sells for $12 per lb wholesale, CFS is getting it for $6 per lb and selling it to you at cost like everything else in our warehouse. In the interest of helping KM’s make good use of this newly available protein, I held a workshop at Kingman last Friday March 13th where I showed them one of the many ways in which you can process this fish into fillets and portion it out for consumption. I am planning to continue to host workshops like these at CFS in the future, with the intention of educating the membership on the really cool ingredients available for them at CFS as well as how to utilize them in a variety of cool ways both for cookshift and also for personal use. Happy cooking!
Check out this awesome video of the actual filleting and portioning of the fish.
Best,
Roberto
