Speaking of animals that resemble nuclear submarines, please dig this photo of a bull sperm whale surfing down the face of a huge wave off the west coast of Haida Gwaii. Shot from the blackcod vessel F/V Ocean Pearl. This is just the front 2/3 of the whale.
they fuckin' love blackcod (sablefish)

Not this whale, but a smaller one followed a halibut boat i was working on for a better part of a week, eating all the undersize blackcod "shakers" they weren't allowed to keep.
In Alaska, sperm whales have been documented teaching their young how to pick fish off blackcod longlines

Today we'll have a flatbed in our driveway, atop which John & a friend will process totes of blackcod tips (iykyk) and our neighbor & his deckhands will filet totes of the rockfish overage he had on his recent fishing trip. Done, of course, in the rain. #HowDoYouAlaska #Sitka #Alaska

Lol! But actually, blackcod is better than steak no matter how they are prepared.

gotta make up my mind about how i'm doing this blackcod, stat. Maybe just simple simple. in the oven with a little bit of butter (not much butter needed - it's already very buttery), lemon & dill

it's not exactly in the same budget category as wieners, but it is a delightfully buttery, rich fish & the light smoke flavour would go incredibly well with sauerkraut. In fact, i'm gonna try this next time i get my hands on some blackcod
Poach it in milk & then use the milk to make a creamy sauce

I love them. Thornyhead trips tended to be longer, cuz only freezer-capable draggers fished for them, and sablefish (blackcod) was the primary marketable bycatch. The way Canadian fisheries are structured, bottom trawlers are not allowed to *target* sablefish tho they got an allowable bycatch quota

The last time i ever ate goose was a Canadian Thanksgiving (October something) in ... i dunno, sometime betw 2003-08, on a blackcod boat. It was a wild Canada goose one of the guys had hunted & we ate at 10 am because they fished at night.
Wild goose is very different. Way less fat, for one thing

A friend roasted a goose for a big New Year's Eve party once, i warned him to put a big pan under the goose to catch all the fat.
"Now, what do i do with all this goose fat?" he asked
"You fry tomorrow's breakfast potatoes in it of course!" YUM.

i haven't done it in ages myself - haven't caught enough fish, lol. I want to build a cedar cabinet like my ex had - it was roughly phone booth sized & could be taken apart & stored flat out of season. We could do about 30 sides in it. we did blackcod too ... sometimes even halibut, omg
