Butterfish Soup
Simple, healthy, and delicious. I really love noodle soups.
I've also decided I'll be buying more butterfish in the future. It's also called sablefish or black cod, but let's face it: butterfish is the best name. In addition to being delicious, it's plentiful and reasonably priced. That's right, the Seafood Watch guide says I can eat it. More fish for me!

Other than fish, vermicelli, tofu, spring onions, did you put in anything else? Did you use a special stock?
I used a stock made from sea bass bones, because the fish shop we go to always has huge racks of bones for $2. Totally worth it to make over a gallon of stock. I strained the stock before starting the dish.
I put a lot of ginger (one large section, sliced) in with the stock, brought it to a boil, salted to taste, added the whole butterfish and a very small head of sliced napa, then let it simmer for ten minutes before adding the tofu. I cooked the vermicelli separately to avoid a mess, then put everything in a bowl with white pepper.
Tada!
Where do you get your fish?
I haven't seen butterfish (or by any other name) anywhere lately and I have been dying for it!
Thanks!
You're going to hate me, but I don't know the name of the place. It's on Clement in the Inner Richmond near Pizza Orgasmica, and it's a tiny fish shop owned by Chinese people.
sun fat in near mission and 23rd generally has great butterfish as well.
Thank you both! I never know the name of anywhere I frequent on Clement (and usually I can only give directions like on Clement between 4th and 9th as I know where things are by sight but not really otherwise). Next time I am out there I will definitely get some of the racks of bones for stock.
And thank you for the Sun Fat rec. I usually buy my fish and poultry at Mission Market which is only a block or so away, so that is really perfect for me!
Miso Black Cod here I come!
