Featured Fillets
California halibut is a classic of the Pacific coast. Caught in local coastal waters, this flatfish is known for its mild flavor and flaky texture. It’s a versatile fish that is delicious pan-seared, grilled, baked, or made into fish tacos.
Halibut’s lean texture and subtle flavor makes it a refreshing counterpoint to richer fish and it’s a great choice for home cooks who want something elegant but unfussy.
Sourced from well-managed California fisheries and landed by small boats, our California halibut reflects a commitment to sustainable practices and local fishing communities.
Portion size? Generous 1lb fillet of California Halibut.

Caught in the cold, nutrient-rich Pacific Ocean near the Farallon Islands, our black cod—also known as sablefish—is one of the Pacific’s most delicious and healthy fish. Its high natural oil content gives it a silky texture and rich, buttery flavor that stays moist whether you roast, grill, broil, or pan-sear it. It’s nearly impossible to over cook.
Black cod is high in omega-3s, low in mercury, and sourced from well-managed West Coast fisheries using low-impact methods. Buying black cod from the Farallons means supporting small-boat fishing and bringing home a fish that’s as responsible as it is delicious.
Portion size? Generous 1lb fillet of Black Cod (Sablefish).

Rockfish is one of California’s most sustainable and delicious everyday fish. Caught off the coast of Half Moon Bay, rockfish offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender, flaky texture that works across a wide range of recipes—from simple pan-searing and roasting to fish stews, tacos, and chowders.
What makes rockfish especially appealing is its versatility: lighter than oily fish, but more flavorful than many other white fish perfect for braising in ginger and lemongrass or grilling for fish tacos.
Our rockfish is sourced from well-managed California fisheries using low-impact methods, supporting small-boat fishermen and long-term sustainability.
Portion size: Generous 1lb fillet of Rockfish
