Dietary Symbols – link 

We order fish from Alaska through Sierra Seafood Co. that bring Alaska fish from Sierra’s family to Colorado mountain towns. Every Spring and Fall Sierra delivers fish to high mountain towns.  See if she delivers to you! Also you can get $25 off your first order (min. $150 order) using code mx54. This Spring the delivery in Crested Butte is on May 15th, 2025. Come join our cooking class at 11:30am (limited spots) and/or pick up your delivery at 2pm.  You can order through The freshness and taste of the salmon and black cod that we order twice a year from them is so incredible. 

We try to eat fish twice a week to get our Omega 3s and good fats! 

While we just got an airfryer from my cousin, Christa who visited this year and I love making fish in it. So easy.  Give this a try.

Why Alaskan Black Cod? 

Alaskan Black Cod taste like buttery amazingness melting in your mouth. I can understand why another name for this fish is Butter Fish.  Really I can’t believe the taste of this fish, it’s almost heavenly, really!  Black Cod is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory and we know with the SAD diet – the Standard American Diet we need all the anti-inflammatory daily we can get. Alaskan Black Cod is also rich in vitamins D, B12 and other essential nutrients. 

Our friends are retired Alaskan fisherman and woman who we have learned all about the well-managed sustainability of fishing practices. Also they were impressed when we said we were ordering Black Cod, it is their favorite.

Enjoy!

How to make this Airfryer Fish : Black Cod fool proof?

First – Thaw your fish before airfryer. BEST: Let the fish thaw slowly in the fridge overnight. If you need to thaw QUICKER do it in cold water in the plastic wrapped salmon cause hot water will start to deform the fish. Take time to thaw, change cold water every 30 minutes.

Use Salt to crisp up the fish. I don’t add oil to the fish due to the fish being full of good fats!

Use garlic powder, dill and lemons for flavor!
