Alongside lox, hot-smoked whitefish, mackerel, and trout, Jewish delis often sell sablefish (also sometimes referred to as black cod in its fresh state). Smoked sablefish, often called simply "sable", has long been a staple of New York appetizing stores, one of many smoked fish products usually eaten with bagels for breakfast or lunch in American Jewish cuisine.[1][2]

While "sable" or "sablefish" is the common name, delis often are not serving sablefish, but rather other types of "black cod" within the Anoplopomatidae family of fish. "Black cod" is a common marketing term for fish within this family.[3]
