Cobia Cooking Guide

Cobia is a fish of the jack family, Carangidae. It is a large, predatory fish with a deep body and large, pointed teeth. It is native to the Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-Pacific. It's an excellent source of protein and has a mild flavor similar to that of cod, and is best prepared by baking, grilling, or pan-searing. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.

Fillet # Method Stove/Oven Temp Avg Time Finish Temp
1-2 fillets Sear Med-High 7-9 mins 145°F
2 or more Grill 375°F 9-12 mins 145°F
4 or more Oven 400°F 20-25 mins 145°F

Note:The above guidelines are only guardrails. Average time depends on size/amount of meat and accounts for cooking both sides of fish. To achieve perfectly cooked Cobia, check color and internal temperature.

Mild, Meaty & Mouthwatering

Sometimes described as a cross between Swordfish and Chilean Sea Bass, Cobia is meaty, bursting with rich, buttery flavor, and extremely versatile to cook. Its firm texture makes it perfect for the grill — and you can even cut it thin carpaccio-style without fear of it falling apart. You also don’t even need oil to create a sear on this fish — the fat will render out when cooking and help create a beautiful, golden crust while it stays moist and flaky on the inside. With higher omega-3s than even salmon, Cobia is a healthy, delicious, and sustainable choice to put on your table.

Sustainably and Innovatively Raised

Our Cobia is sourced from Open Blue — an innovative aquaculture operation off the coast of Panama — and brought to you by our trusted seafood experts at Niceland. Cobia are raised 8 miles offshore in deep water, open-ocean submersible marine net pens. Fish grow healthy and strong in natural, free-flowing marine currents, which keeps them active and consequentially improves their musculature and fat distribution — all without any ecological impact to water quality. By staying away from sensitive coastal areas, nutrient and waste-build up are virtually eliminated, which ultimately preserves the environment and protects the surrounding biodiversity.

We believe in creating a meaningful connection between you and the food you eat. Taste, transparency and convenience shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. This has been our founding belief since we started in 2015, and it continues to be the force that drives us.
