A deep-sea fish (Anoplopoma fimbria) with dark coloring, also known as sablefish, prized for food.
Compound of 'black' and 'cod' (origin of 'cod' possibly from Old English 'gadus'). Named for its dark coloration, though not a true cod.
Blackcod live in the deep ocean and are incredibly oily—that fat content makes them one of the healthiest fish to eat, rich in omega-3s, and when smoked, they're a delicacy in Japanese and other cuisines.
