Summary: “Jelly belly” is a colloquially used term that describes sablefish that has extremely soft flesh. Some people describe jelly belly sablefish as nearly disintegrating or dissolving upon the touch of a spatula or the poke of a fork. While we do extensive quality control in Sitka, there's no way to detect this imperfection until it gets to your oven, grill, or sauté pan.
We would be happy to schedule a replacement or issue a refund. Please send an email to support@sitkaseafood market.com to confirm what you’d prefer, and we’ll get right on it. If it’s not too late, please share a photo of the label information from this portion so our quality control team can investigate.
