I don't know anything about sablefish, but Hooligan are very similar to
Smelt. I'm not fond of small fish, mainly because of the tiny bones!
Hubby likes the Hooligan smoked, and our nephew has a smoke house, and
will smoke them for half the catch. He does a good job, and when smoked,
the bones chew up just fine. I don't even know they are even there, as
just "crunch" right up.
