Guard and Grace Alaskan Black Cod

Alaskan Black Cod, also known as Sablefish, is not a true cod but is a prized deep-sea fish known for its rich, buttery flavor and velvety texture. At Guard and Grace, a 9,000 square foot award-winning modern steakhouse in downtown Denver, the Alaskan Black Cod is a celebrated seafood entree. The dish features a pan-roasted filet served with charred broccolini, sesame seeds, and a sweet soy butter. The price for this entree ranges from $44 to $48.

Some guests have said it's the best fish dish they've ever had, often describing it as bold and balanced. The high praise is attributed to the pan-roasted preparation that results in a perfectly cooked, flaky fish complemented by the savory-sweet glaze. The dish pairs well with starters like the Vietnamese Salad and is sometimes ordered alongside steak mains like the filet mignon for a "surf and turf" experience. The Alaskan Black Cod is often compared to other signature seafood dishes at premier Denver restaurants, such as the Miso-Broiled Sea Bass at Ocean Prime and the Black Cod with Miso at Matsuhisa.
