SERVES 1-2 ADULTS 20mins (excluding refrigeration time) TIP: We're using Pacific Black Cod (or Sabelfish as it's commonly known) as the North Atlantic Cod fisheries have experience some warmer than normal water temps. This has led the Cod to seek colder waters further out - in turn, reducing the catch and increasing the price. See www.sizzlefish.com for cod sourcing.
