I grew up in eastern NC, and my family was full of commercial fishermen, so there was often a platter of "fish" on the table. My mother would pick through to find the butterfish for me because it was my favorite.
I read recently that another name for black cod is butterfish. No idea if it's the same fish I ate as a kid...it's NOT actual cod...but black cod is one of the healthiest fish you can eat. It's really high in omega 3's.
